Joy of Living

"If God placed someone special in your life, would
you appreciate them, would you treat them nice?"

Mika and Milo
were getting along wonderfully;
like they were meant for each other,
it wasn't by accident,
both of them knew the value
of treating another the same way
you wished to be treated,
with love and respect,
they celebrated their compatibility
and embraced their differences,
they were thankful to God that
another person possessed a personality
that was so pleasing to them
so desirous of the things
that pleased them both;
like long intimate hikes in the woods
taking time to enjoy nature,
or two people sharing a movie
or even live theatre all the while
making good moral choices,
being careful not to fill their heads with
much of the garbage that was out there,
spending time in the coffee shop
and using the time to talk stories
about the excitement of now
and expectations for the future,
neither of them had a surfboard,
so they would body surf, embracing the
waves as close as possible, letting the waves
carry them from rest to motion,
they would take daytrips to places like Santa
Barbara or Pasadena or Solvang or go the other
way to Huntington Beach or San Diego, sometimes
with friends and sometimes just the two of them,
they even found a favorite place they liked to
eat in Seal Beach called Surf Taco were they
could share a wonderful steak burrito;
they knew a good relationship will prosper
by the love and respect you are giving,
and they knew as well, a good relationship
brings with it the joy of living.

True love makes the whole world seem like a whole new place. With God being the creator/source of love and having that relationship as a foundation on to which to build a partnership, joy is bound to follow.
Your poem just oozes happiness, contentment, excitement, hope, peace and love.
I can just see the sparkle in your eyes! ~L
