Some moments in life make all decisions
Absolutely worth it
Those precious moments
Time spent together
Doing nothing of significance
But doing it together
Like today for instance
A half-hour of pure joy
A sudden shower under the Sun’s nose
Bright and cheerful, and the smell of wet earth
Dragged the teen to the balcony
And the next half-hour was magic
We clicked pictures
Listened to the rain
Observed silence when we recorded
The sounds of the rain and twittering birds
She had found an App that
Plays all these sounds
Had fun listening to the sounds of a cafe
While we watched the happy showers
Imagined we were in some fancy cafe
Sipping an exotic flavored coffee
Listened to some soulful jazz
As the sounds of the cafe transported us
To earlier journeys we had made
Recalled old memories
Oh, half an hour of such unbridled bliss
Me and my teen, and time stopped still
How I wish to stay in that moment
Or play it back whenever I want
How I wish I could capture it all
In a bottle and store it for another rainy day
Oh it was beautiful
When we did nothing much
But we did it together
When we were both ‘in the moment’ with each other
