Back to the basics

Sometimes you just need to
bring it BACK to the beginning
where your story first started,
and remember why you are doing this
who you are doing this for,
and what THIS really is.

Laying on the grass
under the sun,
I open my eyes just a bit,
and see blue, so much blue
and I wonder if I'm looking at the sky
or if I will see that blue every time I close my eyes.

Smiling, smiling,
standing this way and that
pictures, pictures,
kallah and friends,
and heels and dress
and feeling good.

Happy and radiant she stands,
dimples and blue headband and long flowy dress
and all of us together again,
the COOL ones,
the FAB four,
we rock the party,
we ARE the party.

And I miss those days,
the ones we left behind,
but I also feel a contentment,
a peace with myself and my past.
Because the present is good
and the future is bright.

And I will always have my girlys to face it with.

So I smile, and I stand,
this way and that,
and I put my feet through torture to look pretty,
and I feel pretty, oh so pretty,
and I want to capture THIS moment
in my mind forever.

So that every time I close my eyes,
I will see us all together again,
laughing and talking like old times,
except these are NEW times,
and I want to drink a lechaim to us,
and to our Futures.

Because the past is fading as we speak,
thank G-d for that.
Thank G-d we get to leave the bad behind us,
and that every time I close my eyes
I will see that bright blue clear sky,
And I will no longer ever see you.

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but you can never hurt me.
