Remember and Forgive What Was Don’t let the kids out until nine Summer summer All a clamor Remember? Respect the sleep of others Sprinkler at ready Hot hot A must of buckets for splash down Thunder at noon Pick the tomato ripe In the sun of flavor Savor savor Each minute’s a miracle Delight Evening sitting sunset warm No sheets Naked naked Soak in the air of fan As before each child grows or dies Forgive what was |

Heady nostalgia... it is ok to remember the whos that made what when and then for the facts of absence, pain, betrayal... all under the summer sun... remember the good... let the evil be sprayed in waterfall rainbows and melt away... " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

SweetMartieSis~ There is a poignant remember here~ And ... 'Sprinkler at ready Hot hot A must of buckets for splash down' These, these ... are the days of remember to be cherished~ Love you sweets~ *Huglets*  ~*Me*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Thankyou for this keeper dear Martie. Oh, and I just closed the curtains to keep out the heat of this day .... knowing that somehow when Nana drew her blinds ... it was always so much cooler in my childhood summers.  hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

This came to me in the sun of the neigborhood children's voices. Like laying on the sand at the beach, the sound drew me to the past. Thank you for reading. |

Yes, forgiveness. The devine action of man. |

Memories... children... and growing up, old, and dying... Always forgiving, but always remembering. The only way to live life, in my opinion, is in this very same manner. Thanks for sharing the walk of thoughts in this summer heat. |

So beautiful, dear Martie! Such memories last and they crystallize into clear beauty, when forgiveness is exercised too for things that were ... (((((Martie))))) A splendid piece. Love, Margherita |

Thank you for the stroll down memory lane .. how wonderful it was to be a child, playing in the sprinklers, chasing the ice cream truck, not a care in the world .. I adore this poem ~*divine chaos*~ The artist is nothing without the gift, |

You brought back memories of when I was in the summer playing with the Hot Hot hose. And the summers where I grew up. Great write. Hugs Kimberly |

Evening sitting sunset warm No sheets Naked naked Soak in the air of fan As before each child grows or dies Forgive what was love between all involved eventually brings peace joy and happiness to all...this was incredible Martie!!!! |

A mother's love....boundless. You have a way of expressing things, that goes so far beyond merely the saying, as a cloud is so much more than a swirl of condensed vapor. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Nice write. You portray an excelent thing here. But let us not forget that what is, is. There is good in remembering the good and only pain when one recalls the bad fore there is not to be done about things that have occurred in the past. Kristabell |
