Morning is a bright
colored piñata,
hanging high,
promising surprises
that fall on your head.
If the day crashes,
pick up pieces,
sort through odds and sods,
rescue what’s important
and,
if you’re lucky,
taste something sweet.

This uplifting poem is the perfect fit for April poetry month. I love the metaphor of morning being a pinata "hanging high, promising surprises that fall on your head."

In an age often characterized by darkness of rhetoric, Norma has drawn back the curtain on light and hope . . . she has given us peek into innocence. Dancing along with the joy of this poem. Thank you Norma!
