~*~ If I could give you just one lazy day I would give you all summer long drenched in buckets of sunshine running through the sprinklers whirl misting rainbows around the lawn. I would plant a garden with your favorite flowers and leave you with the simple things that matter I would bring you lemonade freshly squeezed from the stand on the corner where children pass the time, And we had all day to rock in the shade remembering when, with our eyes closed without saying a word when you were the warmest night and the only star in my sky. If I had to do it over again I would give you, all summer long. ~*~ |

Hey Bluesy, how’ve you been? Your new picture looks great! I loved the poem! It would, be nice to be able to do it all over again. I truly envy those, who have been given a second chance at happiness. I hope you never stop writing Bluesy! Take Care, Richy |

"And we had all day to rock in the shade remembering when, with our eyes closed without saying a word when you were the warmest night and the only star in my sky. If I had to do it over again I would give you, all summer long." Ah Bluesy this is just beautiful! Just what we need in the middle of this cold winter.. thoughts of summer, warm weather and love. Speaking of which....love your new pic! ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ In the midst of winter.. |

 (smiles) Yay! God Bless You, sweet friend, I can't wait for the summer again as I wish twelve months a year was spring and summer alternating with some trees of autumn and snow blanketing areas! Yay, kaleidoscope of seasons, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lori, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

This reads a touch different to me than others Perhaps it’s just my Nature, This reads forlorn to me, Regretting time unknowingly lost till, Then there’s no time at all. I’m there doing that summer now, Because Then there’s no time at all. Gloom |

"And we had all day to rock in the shade remembering when, with our eyes closed without saying a word when you were the warmest night and the only star in my sky. If I had to do it over again I would give you, all summer long." This was a pleasure to read  ~Dawn |

Wow! If I could give you just one lazy day I would give you all summer long drenched in buckets of sunshine running through the sprinklers whirl misting rainbows around the lawn. This poem was wonderful and very pleasing to read. I think if the men were allowed to faint they would have. I liked the capture above. Kind of reminds me of a kid growing up, a very warm capture!! Beautiful work my friend. |

"If I could give you just one lazy day I would give you all summer long drenched in buckets of sunshine running through the sprinklers whirl misting rainbows around the lawn." I was looking out the window earlier thinking, "if all that snow was sand...". Wake me when it's spring ok??  |

Hey Lori...I think all summer long would be a wonderful gift to give; if that kind of gift was possible, I would give it too. Loved this poem, my friend. |
