Slowly I wake up and stretch

The sun streams in the room

I get out of bed and my

Day begins to bloom

I shuffle into the kitchen for

That cup of humanity

As I wait for it to brew

I inhale the scent of strong coffee.

I shower and get dressed

And make my way outside

With my spouse holding my hand

We wander far and wide.

We talk about our lifelong dreams

Our goals and then we smile

We stop for lunch and continue on

To speak our thoughts with each passing mile.

As the day turns into evening

We make our way to the mountainside

We watch as the brilliant sun sets

We welcome the cool breeze with a sigh.

We smile and take each others hand

And make our way back home.

We settle in for the night time

In our own thoughts we zone.

I change into my sleeping clothes

So comfy, soft and sleek.

I climb back into the cozy bed

Close my eyes, hand resting on my cheek.
