by Theresa Lovelace
Like cotton candy on a summer day
Like biting a sweet, juicy peach
Stolen kisses on an afternoon date
A walk on a quiet beach.
Like opening presents on Christmas Day
An ice cold glass of Coke
A ride in a brand new shiny car
Or telling some real funny jokes.
Like eating chocolate candy
Or singing a sweet melody
Seeing old friends and making new ones
And living the life that I please.
A crackling fire on cold winter nights
A cozy dinner for two
Like drinking champagne
that tickles your nose
Or a ride in a wooden canoe.
Like seeing an old oldies movie
Or writing a sensitive poem
Hamburgers, french fries, pizza, ice cream
Or a quiet evening at home.
Like watching a beautiful sunset
Or feeling a cool gentle breeze
Like eating fried fish on a Friday night
Or walking on new fallen leaves.
Each moment together I treasure
Each moment a new day begins
Each time I have thoughts of things that I love
They remind me of being with him.
