A peaceful morning
On iron and wood
Sometimes speaking
Sometimes listening
It’s times like these
I’m building in memory
Enjoying a simple meal
With light conversation
No life changes made
No life lived discussion
It's times like these
Which will carry me
Spending precious time
Just in the same room
Jigsaw puzzles and knitting
No need for laborious words
It’s times like these
I’ll miss often
Making silly jokes
Laughing at ourselves
Not the time for introspect
Not life contemplation
It’s times like these
Which will visit me most
Worshiping together
Praying together
Singing together
Learning together
It’s times like these
Which will strengthen me
Life is short
You can blink
And you’ll miss it
So, hold tightly
To times like these
Keep them safe
It’s a lifetime
Of times like these
Which make a life
Times like these
