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.
