Such beauty—two friends sit side by side, with finest plumage coats. Many colours, reflections of rainbows. Bright sunlight cooled only by a light summer breeze. What a beautiful day, I think. Click. The lens opens— the moment captured. Forever contained in this picture of beauty. What a beautiful day, I remember. My friends—we were beautiful, young, strong. Many a girl we loved. Those days have gone now. I remember our smiles, our laughter. My beautiful friends—gone to the stars. We still talk, just before sleep. I awake to another beautiful day, given to me by my beautiful friends. Their lives sacrificed to give me—and you— a beautiful day, every day. Until I and you rise to the stars. Enjoy your beautiful days while you can.

Beautiful Day
Such beauty—two friends sit side by side, with finest plumage coats. Many colours, reflections of rainbows. Bright sunlight cooled only by a light summer breeze. What a beautiful day, I think. Click. The lens opens— the moment captured. Forever contained in this picture of beauty. What a beautiful day, I remember. My friends—we were beautiful, young, strong. Many a girl we loved. Those days have gone now. I remember our smiles, our laughter. My beautiful friends—gone to the stars. We still talk, just before sleep. I awake to another beautiful day, given to me by my beautiful friends. Their lives sacrificed to give me—and you— a beautiful day, every day. Until I and you rise to the stars. Enjoy your beautiful days while you can.
I was sitting in a open park two beautiful birds caught my eye, for no reason I started to think of my past and in particularly about my friends who had passed far too early in their lives. The words came easy.
