the little things

my station
back where it is supposed
to be

after 

a brief relocation

to the other side of the room

it was pushed home

(thanks, moving men discs)

during 

the after holidays

rearranging and cleaning

now 

I draw your attention

to the lamp

a lamp that has seen its

way through some troubling times

namely

surviving...

barely

 a wrestling match

involving two teenage boys

a table bumped

a fall from great heights

All left unscathed...

all except that lamp

which walked away

a bit wobbly 

never to stand straight again

until...

a very patient man

without being asked

without being nagged!

started fiddling with it

took it apart

and spent an evening

putting it back together

and then...

there was

light!

The wobble...

gone.

A strong

solid 

soldier

stands.

How wonderful!

How appreciated...

during these long January nights

days of darkness

Reminding me

once again...

it really is the little things

that make our

world

brighter!

i love you too, babe.
