Bay Day...

This space fills me with space

It is a safe place

Where you can soften

And your shoulders can fall

Into your smile

Say hi

And listen

People here are nice-

They are wise and warm

And I don't have to think twice-

I can trust

Happy New Year, he said

You felt that shutter in me as you walked by

And you made it ok 

Thank you day in the bay

Thank you red haired freckles

Your sweet words stung my eyes

Allowing tears to cry
