A Summer Breeze (Remembering Marge) Rare in life are times that bring A gifted voice to softly sing Poetic songs that will impart A melody that fills the heart How fortunate when it arrives That we might feel it touch our lives And gratefully embrace the gift That gives our weary souls a lift Just like a summer breeze will blow O’er heated brows with gentle flow So quick yet sweet their words flow smooth Across our hearts and gently soothe And precious are the times we share With those who have this gift so rare To ease our burdens with their smile And linger here with us awhile It’s rarer still before life ends That we can call these poets friends And though your journey here is through I’m thankful I was friends with you Thank you my friend |
