Midsummer Twilight
Rose fragrance filled the heavy humid air An elderly couple strolling across the bridge with care Lads fishing at Seneca Creek hoping to catch a trout Neighborhood playgrounds bustling with children roaming about Memories fill our minds with summers of long ago Midsummer twilight reflects a warm glow White picket fences frame the homes along the lane Hot humid evenings with a slight mist of rain These are the summers of our lives Vacations, and family from out of town arrives May they all be happy cherished memories Many seasons have come and gone over the centuries Enjoy each and every day for each new day holds a surprise Whether good or bad we learn to appreciate our lives If we listen carefully to our elders in their wise advice We all want to grow, and learn if we continue to try to be precise |
