Savor

The other day we were talking about
Our transient community
And all the people we have loved
And lost because of life here.

And I said to Keeva,
"Things don't have to last forever to be beautiful"
And Keeva said,
"It's just like ice cream!"

So, We will savor each moment,
Like my child eats ice cream.
So slow that it melts into nothing
And we still find it sticky somewhere,
Long after we have thought it was
Washed away
