Sparkle

The twinkle in your eye,
the green of grass,

the blue of plates,
the watching of films,

the hugs, the kisses,
the holding of hands,

the creativity,
the disparate ideas connecting,

the thank yous, and the ‘You make a difference’,
the possibilities– the books with my name on,

the light through the window,
the walking through doorways,

the eating of good food,
the laughter multiplying,

the gratuitous movement, stretches,
striding,

Jesus, you hold out your hand.
When I take it, the world sparkles.
