I just started typing and my fingers did this. What would be a piece of heaven for you?
One night my husband and I were bored with television.
We went outside to sit on our patio of our new home.
The temperature was just right so we didn't need any coats
It was just a few minutes before sunset.
There were no mosquitoes out
So we sat on our chairs. We watched our dog sniff in our small yard.
He looked at us and decided to sit as well.
Our patio faced the patios of all the other homes that surrounded a nice pond.
Soon the sun went past the horizon and the only thing
we could see were the last orange rays.
But there was still a small bit of light that we enjoyed seeing.
We saw the outdoor lights of our neighbors.
The first sound we heard was the fountain in the middle of the pond.
Then crickets started chirping.
We held hands. We seemed to come to a wonderful rest.
I next played a song on my phone that we enjoyed.
He took his phone and played another song.
We did this for a while and then looked at each other.
"Time to go." he said. I nodded.
All three of us went inside and looked at the clock.
We had a wonderful, special night that left us at peace.
Nights like this are worth more than money, or gold.
We had a trip to heaven and back.
