Good morning!

This Thursday I’m thankful for the crescent moon, the groundhog in our backyard teaching me, and the lessons from the book Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

Today’s poem will be read by Delaney Hughes. I’m so grateful she will be reading Free and she turns eight years old today. Happy Birthday, Delaney!

Tell me what are you thankful for?

FREE

I feel secure, free
Wide open spaces
nothing can stop me.
Gain ground on the roads
I feel at home
ready to fly
A bird soaring high.
Forward motion
beats the commotion
Fresh air even if it's cold
I am bold.
