Life is beautiful


Life is beautiful.  I know from 
the lilt of his Jamaican accent on the phone.
the kindness of this man, once a boy on the beach
selling trinkets to tourists to earn money for his family,
now launching telescopes deep into space to 
study the earliest days of our universe.
life is beautiful, if only you open to the possibilities,
like these flowers on this spring day.
tomorrow it will snow, covering these blooms,
and then the sun will come again.
