The Best In Life

Goose down comfort, cool autumn nights,

gentle breezes blowing on the dock.

warm, sun kissed embraces, rejuvenate the soul,

weekend journeys, get away, without a clock.

*

Sweet getaways, refreshes the body and mind

communications - to reunite the spirit.

Car rides through the country, with the music turned up loud,

with nobody around for miles to hear it.

*

Sunshine on your face, the scent of water in the air,

the sand between your toes, is all you need.

Let go of all your worries, sets you free to just relax,

so far away, you may choose - to not come back.

Saturday morning cartoons, with a snuggly 2 year old,

Wrapped up tight, so neither feels the cold.

Cuddled on the porch swing, in time to watch a thunderstorm,

tops the list of things, more valuable than gold.

*

Golden leaves and bonfires, sweatshirts and football games,

a cruise out on the lake, as the sun sets.

The smell of dinner cooking, floating fragrant scents around,

Is just about as good, as it can get.

*

Oh, for more time to celebrate life,

hold onto the comforts, let go of the strife.
