(the) present

be here now — with you driving down snow-covered streets, evening armchair talks be here now — with you pea shoots, tomato fragrance worm ends in rich soil be here now — with you laughing together, today, with crinkle-eyed smiles be here now — with you this moment, this moment, this, enjoying the gift

Written by

be here now — with you
driving down snow-covered streets,
evening armchair talks

be here now — with you
pea shoots, tomato fragrance
worm ends in rich soil

be here now — with you
laughing together, today,
with crinkle-eyed smiles

be here now — with you
this moment, this moment, this,
enjoying the gift
