These Have I Loved

These have I loved
Sitting under oak trees in the cool summer's grass
Holding hands with someone I love
Counting the stars in a summer's night sky
Feeling the sea breeze tug a my hair
The warm ocean spray on my sun kissed skin
Running barefoot
Smelling wildflowers
Swinging on swings under a setting sun
Roasting marshmallows around a campfire
These have I loved
Laughing uncontrollably
Looking at old photo albums
Staying up late and sleeping in
My dog after a hard day
Catching fireflies just before dusk
Sweet lemonade touching my lips
Sitting on porch swings
Laughing with friends
Living my Life
These have I loved
