Things I've Done

 

~I’ve known the serenity of a Waterfall,

and climbed a steep cliff’s wall~

Took a trip to a tropical Island,

and walked barefoot in the sand~

~Bathed in water of the Hot Springs,

and drank herbal tea made from Ginseng~

~Sat under a tree over a hundred years old,

and listened to stories of history told~

~Made a snowman on a mountain top,

and built a shelter from trees I chopped~

~Visited the land of the Midnight Sun,

never realizing the day was done~

~Danced in the rain on a warm spring day,

and splashed in the puddles in play~

~Went skinny dipping in the summer night,

~only by that of the night’s moonlight~

~Sat in the park feeding the Birds Bread crumbs,

wondering where so many came from~

~Laid in the grass looking to the sky,

picturing animals in clouds with my eyes~

These are things that are in my past,

but the memories will always last!
