The night finds me distracted by library books
and headlines about Weapons of Mass Destruction
and the little boy making a bed on my living room floor.
ISIS advances and Ebola sweeps, but today my grandfather said vows
in his twilight years
and married the woman
he loves.
FaceTime carried to their great-grandfather the congratulations of my children.
I will rejoice, I will rejoice, I will rejoice in the land of the living.
Your words are some of the last I read before sleep. Thank you for this. I needed to hear about the choice to rejoice.
So well said, Harmony!
