the hammock part three

Today is the day you know what one,
the day you say to yourself "this is the first day of
the rest of my life" The hammock now sits higher
off the ground for the fullest affect of
floating. I wear a sun hat-the most beautiful of suns
is shinning and the leaves of the apple tree can not shade
me yet. I will read a book- that a new but good friend
had surprised me with" I bought you a book because
I know you will love it, but I am scared to give it to you
because the story is about you and you might take off
for a year just like in the book and I am selfish and want you
to stay here and be my friend" the nicest thing ever-thank you.

so I will rock or is it sway in the hammock reading this book
I am happy to have given up all the things and people who
take without giving......because the overflowing moments of joyous
and exciting new things that have happen of late have now taken every inch
of space....and I am happy to make room.
