My Toe Just Touched The Water
Puffy clouds playing charades with me
Dotting the blue horizon as far as I can see
Memories rising with summer’s great heat
Traveling hundreds of miles, yet never left my seat
Familiar sounds play tentatively on my ear
Making yesterdays seem even more dear
Looking over the river of life gone by
Feeling the spray of its waters touch my eye
And longing to wade in its chilly flow
Stripping down feet as I expectantly go
On the rocky shoreline to hop and totter
But it’s okay, my toe just touched the water
