I used to go outside every day and watch the sunset,

No matter the weather.

In the summers I would swim out to the forest with my brothers.

We would explore the woods, climb trees,

And my brother even found an arrowhead.

In the winter the lake would freeze and we would ice skate if it was thick enough,

I remember when we one time each got a bucket of snowballs and we were skating around pelting each other.

But mom made us stop though,

Since I got hit in the eye with a snowball packed a little too much.

What I wouldn’t give to have those days back….

But Seth passed away 2 years ago,

And Ryan moved away and we really don’t connect anymore.

So I sit here watching the sunset alone.

But the orange isn’t as orange,

And the pinks and purples not so vivid.

But gray has never been more clear.
