starting at one point,
it was okay to just be okay.
we didn’t need to worry
if the sky will fall or the earth will sink.
we laughed without nervousness
we joked with an abundance of the ocean.
no bitterness or grizzled scars or anger.
we all know where we are headed
and in the end,
we’d all like to remember our smiles and loves.
