I am the glimmer coating the crisp lake on a bright summer day

and the waves pouring on the shore during the storm.


I am the boat traveling far with no direction

and the tuber grasping on for dear life with a smile on her face. 


I am the one admiring the driver, gliding at 75 mph on the jetski - no care in the world.

And I am the passenger shouting “FASTER!” over the strong sounds of the wind breaking 

Just because she doesn’t want this moment to end.


I am the singer, singing about his rock in a hard place. 

And I’m Kane Brown breathing sweet lyrics about how moments like this, 

with this certain person, describe Heaven


I am the music vibrating the water,

enriching the slimy scales with the sweet sound of Brantley Gilbert. 


I am the worker building thick retaining walls

with her bare hands for eight hours every day.


And the student, who conveys feelings on paper

rather than people because she's too shy to speak up.


I am the friend, who drives 500 miles to see their bestie

and the daughter who walks the dog when mom isn’t feeling well.


I am the daughter, who cuts the grass so dad can relax,

And the one who is always there on the coldest of days.
