Cherries & Strawberries

do you understand
how precious
how sweet
your heart beat
is?

how lucky it is
to breathe
to jump
in puddles, sing
how much beauty
and love there is unfurling, my love
my lovely dear

you're alive,
you're here
you've survived
magnificent and raw
I saw
the beauty beaming
keep
day-dreaming

make daisy chains
eat sweet cherries
and strawberries
dance,
and be silly
love
without fear
and please smile, my lovely dear
because you're alive

you're here
