sometimes the most beautiful moments
are the simplest
i remember the many barbecues
my wife and i had
on the deck just off our kitchen
even though we were surrounded by neighbours
and noise and traffic
it was quiet and peaceful
because
there was just me and my wife
it wasn't about the steaks
or the salad
or the wine
it was about the time
the time spent in quiet conversation
sipping on a glass of wine
watching the day turn to night
spending time
with the person you love more than anyone in the world
those times are gone now
but they will live forever
in my heart and mind
