the sun's heat resting upon my skin
and cool wind blowing through my hair
complete peacefulness comes from within
when warmth & serenity are in the air
a freckle ridden face comes to greet me
with a smile so tender it touches my heart
i never imagined how lucky i could be
or that accepting myself would be the start
the voices of angels echo in my ears
songs of the people i'll never forget
encrypted in my memory through the years
completed with stories of the day we first met
as people, we have ties which hold us down
and those who don't can't help but drown
