This family picture brings back such memories and inspired the following poem.
On the far right, standing, my grandpa is holding me and grandma is holding
my cousin, Claudia and standing next to grandma is Claudia's brother, Marion
sadly, only the three of us are left!
SUMMERTIME
Summertime...
Brings such memories of delight,
Mama's bountiful garden
And fireflies flickering at night.
Summertime...
A block of ice from the store
To make homemade lemonade and ice-cream
Who could ask for anything more?
Summertime...
Swimming in the creek,
Warm summer evenings
Playing hide and seek.
Summertime...
A whippoorwill's lonesome call,
Long evening shadows,
A baby calf mooing in the stall.
Summertime...
Picking blackberries for a pie,
Much needed summer showers
Falling from the sky.
All these memories
Of a long ago summertime,
Still gives me pleasure
I thank God they are mine!
