Days I live For

Days I live for

I feel blessed for days like these,

Blessed to have friends to help me pick up the pieces,

To play in the waves, Basque in the sun on these beautiful beaches.

Pure laughter is the best,

It lets you forget about the mess,

You leave behind at home,

It gives you the freedom to roam,

Without consequences,

Not in search of any lesson,

Just good honest heart medicine.

I am blessed to share moments like those with my friends,

Where you are able to forget about the dead ends,

And tend,

To what your heart needs,

Which is to feel the trouble-free breeze,

While you freeze your toes off in the water,

And soak your pants higher than expected,

It's amazing what a little bit of sunshine can cure.

To share stories between tastes of wine,

Dancing on tables in wake of picture time,

Dipping our toes in the sand,

Enjoying the beauty of the land,

That the pacific northwest has.

These are the days I live for,

The days where you sing loudly in the car,

The days where you're always wishing for more,

But enjoying the view of the stars.

The days where I feel most blessed,

Where I’m finally able to let,

Some of the grief set,

And just capture in the moment.

Where you know times like these won't be forever,

Where they are fleeting,

Like a dream,

exciting but not exceeding a lifetime,

You blink and they just fly by.

You have to hold them close,

Not letting them be exposed,

To the nature of the world,

Because days like these are pure,

Days like these are what I live for.
