Going for a run at dawn

Watching the sun come up

Returning for coffee and a muffin

With someone who loves me

 

Walking the path that goes

Back through the woods and streams

On the family farm

Feeling the sun kiss my skin

 

Swimming in Lake Michigan

Playing in the waves

Laughing with a playmate

And lying on the warm sand

 

A barbeque with friends

Sitting on the porch

Retelling our favorite stories

While enjoying each other’s company

 

A boat ride at sunset

Camera in hand

Breathing in the scent of water

Enjoying the night coolness as it comes

 

A passionate kiss

While hanging out with someone special

On the tailgate of a pickup truck

Watching fireflies light a dark yard

 

Slipping into bed with cold cotton sheets

Drifting off with the night sounds

Coming through an open window

Sweet dreams waiting to be dreamed
