Watch out? I think.

I watch for them.

Love the crunch under my feet

My steps erratic  

As I weave my way through my walk.

Crunch one to the left

Two to the right

Three clustered ahead of me.

Thousands of acorns

Waiting to be decimated 

By my New Balance.

I can’t crunch them all.

After all, how many can I destroy 

In a two hour walk?

My life is filled with acorns, 

The crunchy ones.

But also the acorns that fill my wish list.

Write a story and a book. 

Plan a trip to see family

And a trip to see France.

Learn Fur Elise on the piano.

Find a framer for Sylvie’s crewel piece

Stitch cable cars for Sid

A  sampler for Frannie.

Read the 200+ books on my To Read list

Watch all the movies on my Netflix lis.

Pen gratitude letters to my family and friends.

So many acorns

Waiting to be accomplished.

I can’t complete them all.

After all, how many can I accomplish

In the years I have left?

But I still strive for them.

I love the joy in my heart

As I weave my way through my life.
