Sweet Moments
I thank God for all the sweet moments
Times that made me laugh, smile, or even cry
I wish I could put them all in one big bottle
so I can re-live each one over and over again:
There’s my first kiss – his name was Pat
The overwhelming beauty of the cliffs by the ocean
The serene, peaceful silence of falling snow
Holding my newborn son in my arms for the first time;
The first time he gazed into my eyes
The smell of freshly cut grass
Seeing a father holding his young daughter’s hand at the bus stop
The majestic colors of a butterfly
Hearing my son say, “I love you mom”
The freedom I felt when I bought my first car
Having dinner with a girlfriend I haven’t seen in years
Finding my first gray hair
The restful feeling after a perfect night’s sleep
An elderly couple on a stroll, holding hands
Rainbows, and sunrays peering through the clouds
A candle-lit, hot bubble bath
Hearing the perfect song at just the right moment
Finishing a really good book
Hearing a word or phrase that resonates
The completion of another poem
