I exist in the people I love

I see a tree in front of my window
It has a strong root on its bellow
It looks greener than tomorrow 
Once it looked grey like sorrow

The sky looks bright again
My window is clear and unstrained 
I see clouds smiling in the vain
Maybe the rain washed all the stain 

As I'm walking in my feet
As I'm seeing all my deeds
As I'm hearing all the sounds
I touch the pace that is unbound 

I smile through the beauty of nature 
There's a version of me waiting in future 
So I nurture the time that is immemorial 
Because she might not feel all of its appeal
 
Just like today, tomorrow and the day after
I will walk with the memories I gather
There will be a part that is irresistible 
There will be a chapter where I'm incapable 

So I should smile a little more
I should hear the sea shore
Admiring the present isn't tough
Because I exist in the people I love

Hello Anika, This is a very beautiful poem. I enjoyed reading it. Loved the lines , just like today, tomorrow and the day after, I will walk with the memories I gather. In reality this is what keeps us sane. A great reminder to make good choices. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend, my friend.
