A Good Thing To Be

A Good Thing To Be
On a walk in the park, it’s not uncommon to unwind. How was your day, today? I ask.
A hungry one I didn't eat lunch! she’d roar on a Monday.
An abnormal amount of bleeding, she’d whimper on a Tuesday.
An explorer searching for towels! she’d cry on a Wednesday.
What did you do today? she asks.
Just nursed, I say brightly, and I realize it’s a milestone I haven’t yet reached.
A good thing to be, she tells me.
And also I tell myself.
