My hands holding the rim of the pool,

My feet swaying in the blue depths,

The water lapping against me,

My eyes kissing the horizon.

Stories above the rest,

Looking at the city from my vantage,

A sense of satisfaction engulfing me,

As I look back at all I’ve done.

Proud of all the hard work,

And the energy I put in,

Proud of all I’ve achieved,

And the levels I’ve reached.

So important to take a deep breath,

And appreciate all you have,

Show your gratitude,

For all the good things in life.

A smile smoothens on my features,

As I take in the view around me,

Feeling at peace with who I am,

With who I one day hope to be…
