Joy Complete

I watched a sunset with my best friend
rode the lift for the last run in the Rockies
sailed above the desert in a hot air balloon

I made the last shot to beat our rival
was embraced and kissed by the cheerleaders' captain
mobbed and lifted up by screaming fans

I gazed into the eyes of my life's love and said "I do"
held my son for the first time and gave him his name
bestowed the most honest blessing on my daughter at her confirmation

I was given a potted bulb, trampled and dry
provided water, nutrients and support as she began to grow
watched her blossom into beauty, victory, love...
