A Season of Sun

On this day in May, it was slowly turning into Summer
What a relief after a long, cold winter 
My fan had become my best friend 
And I loved to wake up and open the shades in my kitchen with the sun coming in

I cried a lot because he wasn't there
Left with only the memories of yesteryear
Wishing I could bring them back 
And have the love and support that I used to.
Laughing in the waters of Santa Monica and Mazatlan 
Like, when was young, I wanted to do.

I was thankful to be alive
To hear the reassurance of mothers
When their babies start to cry
To be grateful for my writing table
And be thankful to be able 

To wake up and see the sun 
And know that God's work is not done.
