These I Have Loved

These I Have Loved

A moment of flying, the time that stops mid-air

The feel of a dog’s warm ears

Soaking up a warm sun

Diving into a completely still, and cool water

The feeling of victory as I crush my father in a board game

Listening in awe as a genius puts it all together

Climbing to the top of a tree on a windy day and swaying back and forth

The distinct smell of old money or books

Bursting into song in an empty house and listening to the echoes

Shaved legs against pajama pants

That “Ah ha” moment when everything become clear

Being right

Freshly baked bread smothered with butter and homemade jam

Singing with inspiring music

Milk so cold your brain freezes

Laughing until your stomach hurts and tears flow

These I have loved.
