It's 4 AM

It is 4 am.

I can’t sleep.

And I think I found the song I want playing

when I take my last breaths.

“A Glimpse of Beauty” by BARTH.

It made me run through my entire life and smile.

Smile at the good…

and the bad.

Forgive…

and understand.

Love everyone…

and everything.

And isn’t that all life is?

The car.

The house.

The job.

The money.

That’s what we think we need.

But it’s a lie.

The only things I ever needed were…

My children’s laughter.

The “te amo”

from the only man who ever mattered.

To sit in the beauty of this planet

and its people.

To witness kindness.

And courage.

At this hour, I am grateful.

I am touched.

I can go,

If that’s what He wants.
