My cheeks creased from smiling so much.
It was one of those days, you know?
Where at the end you could contentedly die.
Happiness poured out from my soul – Its impetuous gushing.
My gorgeous boy beside me on that wide open boat,
The whales breaching so close.
A joy to spot them and cry to the crowd,
‘Over there, there’s another’
I was a teensy bit proud.
No threats could harm me away on the water,
A continent apart.
Dark thoughts continued to flicker in and out, but not then. A stunning reprieve.
This moment, so peaceful, forever etched in my mind.
It was one of those days, you know?
Where at the end you could contentedly die.
