Things That I Love
Location
Things I love can't be summed up
But I can say one is the sight of my pup
When she wags her tail at me
After a long day, but sadly, the only thing I want to see
Is my bed, and the feel of a clean crisp sheet
I climb in and think, of everything I love
I think of the cool I feel after burying into the sand my hot feet
Seeing a toilet after holding it
When my feet hurt and I finally sit
Watching trees sway
The squishy way
The pumpkin guts feel between my fingers
I squish them and think, of everything I love
I think of the taste of sparkling cider and the bubbles on my lips that linger
The smell of my dear
Or when my mom brings me near
For a hug that I need
Oh how she takes heed
I bury my face in her neck
As she holds me close I think, of everything I love
I think of holding a birthday check
I think of the shock of cold I feel when I dip my toes in a mountain stream
The smell of the first rain, better than a dream
The smell of a new car
Being home after going far
The feel of electricity during a storm
I watch the sky and think, of everything I love
Watching a ballroom dancer's form
The caw of gulls and crash of waves
The gentle drip echoing from wet caves
The steady hum of the dryer from my clothes
Even the smell of cow poop, I suppose
As I remember my childhood home I think, of everything I love.
