a look at summer's spent

The blazing sun
shining down
The two of us
by the lake

The sea breezes
cooling us
on starlit nights

Cotton candy
bumper cars
The county fair
a prized bear

A long stroll
a proposal
A baby’s born
her christening

Days at the park
feeding the gulls
She holds my hand
taking first steps

Balloons and cake
presents galore
Before we know it
her first day of school

School dances
senior prom
First crushes
Forever love

Graduation
seeing her off
College bound
First real job

She in her
own place
and us in
this old house

Memories
remind us
of those
summer days
