Foundation

To dream deep

and wake up happy —

this is the gift I’d give you

if I could — give it to you

every day, let whatever faces you

be met by this foundation

So you can then receive

the countless other gifts

bestowed in every breath,

in every smile, in every challenge,

so you lie down in peace

and dream again.
