Step by step.

My heart beats. 
Glancing at the crowds.
Seeing and hearing the commotion.

I remember…
I remember the joy of gathering. 
I remember the warmth of embracing. 
I remember the gentle kisses of a soft breeze. 
I remember the smell of fresh coffee being served. 

Crossing the corner, 
Walking into the intersection, I look up. 
There, before me, a friend! 
Adventure! 

I remember…
I remember the stories we shared. 
I remember the love we have for each other. 
I remember when we first met. 
I remember my gratitude for a faithful companion. 

I remember…

This is what I remember; I love life.
This is what I remember; life loves me. 
This is what I remember; life is sacred. 
This is what I remember; ‘we’ is sacred. 
This is what I remember; ‘I’ is sacred. 

There.
In the midst of it all. 
God. 

I remember…
