Otherwise
Christian Century, March 22, 2003 by Jane Kenyon
Otherwise I got out of bed on two strong legs. It might have been otherwise. I ate cereal, sweet milk, ripe, flawless peach. It might have been otherwise. I took the dog uphill to the birch wood. All morning I did the work I love. At noon I lay down with my mate. It might have been otherwise. We ate dinner together at a table with silver candlesticks. It might have been otherwise. I slept in a bed in a room with painting on the walls, and planned another day just like this day. But one day, I know, it will be otherwise.
