Things I Know for Certain
What We Cherish Most
There is a lot of turmoil in the world these days, but there are some things I know for certain
Things like the therapeutic effect of a poached egg on a grey November morning
Things like the comforting weight of a good dog’s head as it rests on your lap
Things like the intoxicating smell of the earth after it rains
And the way a smile from someone you once loved can still knock you over
I know for sure, the inherent power, socks and underwear have to make (or break) your day
And while there is a lot we don’t know for sure
Things out there that defy science
Things that might even seem otherworldly
Which is okay
Because maybe we aren’t meant to know
At least, not yet
So, for now
I will enjoy those little certainties
For at the end of the day
They are the things we cherish the most
