Remembering the feeling inside. Happiness, calm, safety and light. Amid every sense, so clear. Simply a moment, with you being here. Looking deeply into sweet memory. Positivity, awe, warmth and joy. Completely still, thoughts vanish. Only a presence in time, I see flourish. Feeling the gift of your life with me. Gratitude, peace, knowing and free. Surrounded by a smile, most kind. Always flowing, like a river in my mind.

I am very glad you appreciate it. That is exactly the feeling of warm timelessness that I was trying to describe. You too!

Thank you very much. I wrote it for my Great Uncle Austin Paulnack who is 85 and always says "Life goes on, like a flowing river." I am happy you read it and liked it.
