As waves crash against me
I am lost in thought
Not the normal ones, see
No thoughts of things left undone
More smiles at what is
What I have done, what I have
created and loved
I don't seek forgiveness
or have an unfinished bucket list
I am thankful for many things
Laughter, smiles and words
Unlimited color pallets every day, everywhere
Skin, that new baby smell
Hot coffee on a cold day, Ice coffee on a hot day
Years of music without repeat
The endless thoughts shared with the written word
Holding a life I created and the one I created them with
Spring flowers during April showers
Lending a hand, not because I could but because I wanted to
Never asking for more than I needed or taking more because I could
Wild eye wonder, seen and felt
That rushing flutter when I first touched her alabaster skin
Playing in the sand, riding that wave
Letting go of worry, just being one
Never seeing color as anything less than a form of beauty
Differences producing a state of awe
Thankful for the experiences I have had and shared
Grateful there is time to just do more
