Yosemite

Carved by the hand of God you are awesome, heavenly, take my breath away, Yosemite. I worked and lived in Yosemite when I was 18 1/2 till I was 23. How was I to be so blessed? some would say I'm lucky I guess. What an impact you had on me, for I was young broken and, lost till you opened my eyes, you filled my heart. You healed my heart, you healed my soul with all the beauty, the magic, that you behold. Your sunrises, sunsets, waterfalls, your meadows, wildlife, granite walls of Half Dome, El Capitan, Clouds Rest, and the Camp 4 climbers they were the best. The people, the memories, that I had made will last me my lifetime I will take them to my grave. Now when I die I have just one request, please spread my ashes and, lay me to rest, in the place I love the best, my heaven on earth Yosemite. So I thank you Yosemite, for the Kodak moments, and memories, that you truly gave to me. You healed my heart, you healed my soul, with all the beauty, and magic, that you behold.
