Have You Ever
Looked up in the sky on a beautiful day?
I mean really beautiful, like the sky is the right tint of blue
with a few slivers of clouds, just enough to create enough
tension in your sight to create a masterpiece?
And the weather is perfect — not too hot but not cold at all
and the sun is hitting your left check as you squint because you don’t
have your sunglasses but that’s okay because it’s still perfect?
And you can’t stop thinking about all of the days just like this when you were
much younger and had no responsibilities and just play and sun and laughter
and sweat?
Have you ever wondered how many more beautiful days you’ll get to see
because you know there isn’t an infinite number left?
This could be your last one.
Maybe not, but I don’t know. I guess that’s what makes them so beautiful.
