30: Last Night

Last night
Under the diamond dust
Of the Milky Way
Blazing across the sapphire sky
Listening to the chorus of Tahoe's majestic pines
Singing lullabies to the crystal blue lake
I thought of other days long gone
Snowflakes on your smiling face
Playing in the snow
Always
Yours was the heart of a gentle child
I know you heard me crying
Last night
And came to comfort me
In my dreams
Thank you for coming
Thank you for being
My longer than forever friend
Thank you for being
Georgia.
