While It's There

I see the sea,
And I’m able to walk along the sand,

I walk with my Love
And I’m able to hold her hand,

I feel the sun
And I’m able to feel her stare,

I point to the stars,
And I know you there….

------- Author's Notes -------

Be thankful that we can see such beautiful sights, such as the sea crashing against the rocks or gently washing back and forth onto the sand.

Be thankful for being with the one you love, cherish the times you can hold their hand, smell their hair etc.

My girlfriend named a star after my father….so that’s what the last line is about.

Make someone smile today!

very thoughtful

Concise, economical and to the point -
which makes it a lovely piece of poetry.
So many people take things in life for granted (for example - their environment) Before I go to bed each night I look up the night sky and if I'm early I try to catch the sunrise!
"While it's there" - what a beautiful title, Ben!
