Smiles
and the sunshine
These moments
pass the time
Grass between toes
Feet in soft sand
Letting go of woes
With the offer of a hand
Words
of grand delight
The world
turns to right
Conversations
Into the night
Laughter rings
Warm and bright
Shades
of a soft sunset
spread across cheeks
Blushing in
all varieties
of peaches and pinks
Voices low
Then voices high
To an unstopping
crescendo they will fly
Enjoyment
Comes as we share
The way we learned
to show we care
Dancing
to the beat of rain
The earth will swallow
all our pain
So hug me tight
And hug me again
For we celebrate
Us, dear friend.
