Spa Day Staycation
Poem #275 • A beautiful reason to live
A dab on the nose
a dap in the water
there isn’t anything quite like an at-home spa day for mother and daughter
The little one with uproarious laughter, the big one grinning relieved
sometimes all that is needed for fun is a little reprieve
Matching towels, turbans, and robes
a little joy brings a little extra youth to their faces and to the day at hand
wishing it might never end
A shared world at home never feels too far
when teaching a child to give
a child gives a mom a beautiful reason to have fun and live

The poem gives off a very peaceful, homely feeling. It’s easy to picture the scene and almost feel the calm atmosphere. What makes it special is how it ties joy, laughter, and love together in such a natural way.
Grant, this is such a warm and uplifting poem. I love how it finds beauty in a simple mother-daughter moment and reminds us that joy often comes from the little things. The ending is especially touching. 💙
