The Glory Days of Now

I’m grateful for the sun
          which shone on younger days
The days of scurried heartbeats
                     and butterflies of love

And for the carefree hearts
                   on beaches of my youth
The nights of clothes and cars
               and bars of clubbing beats
 
I’m grateful for the sun
                which lights the memories
of newlyweds with king sized beds
and never-ending dreams

And for all the glory days
            I’ve lived and loved, gone by
Yet, as I know sun still
I’m grateful for the glory days of now
