Walking on the Clouds

Gratefulness

I'm walking on the clouds and looking down below,

I'm travelling backwards into time and all it has to show.

*

Reliving happy moments and seeing many the smiling face,

I hear all the loving words in memories that I chase!

*

No need to look for trouble or for days that there was rain...

Cause these clouds that I'm on top of, carry absolutely no pain.

*

I see all the students that touched my life in their quest to learn,

Glad to be of service, an honor to be a part of a title they did earn.

*

I see all the places that I went and travelled with my 20+ year spouse;

I see the works our hands did and how together, we built our house.

*

I see dancing with all my friends, how we partied and we laughed

So glad to feel that young again, but the alcohol we did guaff!

*

Spanning the years with my children from teenaged to the toddlers,

Oh, how I loved them and so happy to be their "modeler."

*

I see an older sister...wait a minute...that's got to be me!

There's a smart little brother and a little sis playing Barbie.

*

There're my parents, and my grands, my uncles and my aunts,

I see the perfect family gathered, the best that God could grant!

*

Thank you for coming along, upon this floating ride...

Life is short, love deep and hard, and let joy be your guide!
