What do you call...

What do you call
talking with a good friend for the first time in too long?
What do you call
sipping black coffee when it's almost too hot?
What do you call
laughing with relatives at Christmas time and realizing that you are one of the big people?
What do you call
listening to your sister play piano and missing her already?
What do you call
a tight hug around the leg and "I uvv you Be-cca."?
What do you call
a compassionate expression from someone who you love?
What do you call
singing God's Word until it stirs your soul to overflowing at the windows?
What do you call
a tight and reassuring hug from a friend?
What do you call
a blessing from a 95-year-old great-grandmother?
What do you call
a note found on your bed from a beloved brother: "Becca, don't fail college... I love you."?
What do you call
a sleeping garden full of hope?
What do you call
finally coming to love the very writing class you've hated?
What do you call
cherishing wisdom as if you were about to leave on a journey with your own ring to concur?
What do you call
whispers and hushed laughter at a far between sleep over?
What do you call
a phone call from a cousin who's 4 days, 20 hours, and thirty minutes older than you?
What do you call
a Savior of the world in a feeding troth?
What do you call
a soul moving from earth to Heaven?
What do you call
a people freed from sin?

O happy people who are thus!
O happy people who can say
They have the LORD to be their God!
From the end of Psalm 144.

I call your poem a Life Song, a song of gratitude unto our Lord, a list of treasures gathered and displayed for all who choose to see and taste that our God is good and great!
