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.

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
