15,000 Steps

The alarm goes

And so do I

Don’t just sit around, my girl

Boots, gloves, jacket, hat

And out the door for a walk

.

Brrr, it’s cold today

At least the grocery shop is warm

.

5,437 steps

Is that enough?

Settle, petal

Settle, petal

 .

After lunch

Itchy feet

Well, it’s a nice sunny day for it

.

Thud thud thud

Boots on the boardwalk

Scrunch scrunch scrunch

Boots on the sand

.

10,414 steps

Is that enough now?

Settle, petal

Settle, petal

.

Restless feet

In the low golden light

Time for an after-dinner wander

.

Car lights

Carve streaks into the night 

Steaming breath curls and rises

Like silent prayer

.

15,042 steps

Is that enough now?

Settle, petal

Settle, petal…

Settle.
