Lazy Days

I recall when summer
Was sitting in the shade;
Drinking icy glasses
Of Mama's lemonade.

Summers have grown shorter
And busier it seems.
Lazy days of summer
Are only in my dreams.

By Joyce 7/24/02

How very true. As we get older summer doesn't hold the same wonder as it did when we were younger. Nice poem.

Joyce:  It does seem like we have so much more to do now than when we were younger. Even as a new mother, I think I had more relaxing time than now.  Something is wrong with this picture!!

Oh, so true.  Reminds me of when I was a kid and sitting with my mom and Grandma on the front porch, chatting away.  Thanks for the memories.  Man, I miss summer already.

Hey so true every summer seems busy. But I had way too many days off 4 the summer

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

Lovely poem, Joyce. I agree with you. But I will share my secret for keeping summer very simple. I choose not to let it be any other way!  Love to you,...Ellie
