“and they lived happily ever after”

It can look like a spring rain,

a calming night,

the rainbow stretched across the seas.

It can look like grandchildren,

great-grandchildren filled with energy

or the soft somber sound of their soft snores.

It could be the silly things,,, side by side,

or, it could the here and now

said over countless decades;

a reminder of life’s connection to the heart.

It could be remembering that first hello,

the only “I do”, that matters,

or all the candles on cakes,

blown away in remembrance.

It could be many things,

or it could be just the little things;

the gentle kiss, the holding of one hand.

The choices, decisions we seek,

are ones that remain a lifetime;

the right ones, live happily ever after.
