"Ten thousand years from now, I will remember..."
Something Wonderful
Upon Which to Ponder
We sleep together,
Like spoons, as they say.
Your chest and my back,
Leaning against each other
In perfect match and comfort.
Our hands rest upon each other’s
Thighs. Our feet are intertwined.
Ten thousand years from now
I will remember the sense
And the warmth of you.
Twenty thousand years from
Now, I will hear your heart beat
And feel you breathe.
Thousands of ages after that,
Whether we are together
Or not,
I will remember your touch
And feel your warmth
And know your strength.
It will be as if
We were always
As one,
And for that,
I am grateful.

It seems that there will always be things we remember...a parade which we saw as a child, our mother's hand, our first kiss. There maybe some bad memories too. We won't mention them. However, here is hoping that the most important and helpful memories come to our mind and keep us on a course of happiness. skp
Take Tea at the Keizer Library
Please join me for Afternoon Tea in Keizer, Oregon. This is a fundraiser for the community library.

Something you won't want to miss, I am sure. ;-)

Some say that the best tea is grown high in the mountains or on the hillsides.
