If Love is the Degree

If Love is the Degree

If love is the degree

of attention we pay

to something,

then I love praying my way to work

and writing first thing each day

and wrangling my dogs

and doing life with my husband

and traveling to experience places

and special family text chats

and camping in state parks

and planning what to do next

    in this big world of opportunity

If love is the degree

of attention we pay

to something,

then I love life!
