I Am

I am refreshing as a cool summer breeze that blows down from the mountains. 
I am a great childhood memory as grandma's ice tea and buttered toast. 
I am good times_sunny days at the beach with the finest of friends; a fun day of running through thick grassy fields with bare feet. 
I am an unforgettable first love_strong emotions_ tingles and smiles, and the sweet array of the light touch of shy lips; that special first kiss. 
I am tasteful romance and fine dining, candlelight dinner for two served with vintage wine on a private yacht named "Paradise". 
I am... Natures' Best! 

I am the worst feeling you can imagine_ hot scorching winds against virgin skin, bad dreams that do not end. 
I am regrettable as the slip of the tongue_ words spoken in anger that you can never take back. 
I am the pains of two days of hard labor without the joys of childbirth. 
I am the dread of lost jobs, unpaid bills, empty wallets, and negative $5.00 in the bank. 
I am illness, that sick feeling deep down in the pit of your guts developed from worry and anxiety. 
I am fear, remorse, and the devastation of searching for a missing child; yet, finding only shreds of clothing. 
I am what we have come to know as "Hades on earth". 
I am Nature's Unrest!
