Daily missive for Tuesday the 11th of July.

Another day
Without you
To remind me
How special it is
To be here.
A prompt never to forget
The little things
Never to let them slide.
To look up
And feel the sun
On my face.
Simple pleasures
So easily
Taken for granted
In the free for all days
Of our passage
Between arrival
And passing.
Birthday greetings
Flowers for the table
A gift bought
In good time
Thoughtfully given
The meaningful ways
We show love.
A curtain call
For me to remember
Never to forget
I deserve them too.
If not for you
To surprise
I will be satisfied
To taste
The hopeful air
Of another morning.
Glory
In the memory
Of bygone days
The many ways
We chose to celebrate
Just being
Together
In love and breathing.
