be sweet

i want to be sweet this year

in words

in actions

in intentions

in interactions and emails and hellos and goodbyes

i want to be sweet this year

in hard conversations

in accountability

in good mornings

in good nights

in the end of a hard week where i just want to quit everything and run away but i can’t because i have a mortgage and a marriage and a daughter and debt and bigger goals than just today

i want to be sweet this year

in questions

in answers

in the little and the big

in nothing and everything

i want to be sweet this year

with you

with everyone

with myself and all my complexities and simplifications and memories and fears and joys and every day

i want to be sweet this year
