Sometimes life’s alright
And little moments can mean so much
And stay with us through thick and thin
Once I spent a week with a lover
At a beach house on the North Coast
We spent the time making love
Swimming and exploring
Quaint little towns
Where we mixed with the locals
On the last day
After a swim and something to eat
We just sat down
On a park bench
And watched the trucks on the highway
Go rumbling passed
For a few fleeting moments
Everything was filled
With a deep sense of meaning
And in that moment
We were ok with the world
I haven’t felt that way in a long time
But I catch glimpses of it
Out the corner of my minds eye
And I know I’ll find it again
Somewhere in the fabric of freedom
And life will be beautiful
