The momentYou choose to
Breathe the air
As it carries
The scents of flowers
Past cheeks
Past cheeks
Feel the grass
Between your toes
The sun on your face
Sharing time
With the ones you love
Listening to their laughter
Watching them smile
Happiness Stretching out
Like a new day
Dawning
Moments matter
