Lazy Days Of Summer
The gentle river rolling by.
See all the pretty butterflies.
The sun warm and soothing.
Makes me feel like snoozing.
Birds chirping in the trees.
Limbs moving in a gentle breeze.
Crickets making all their noises.
All together, sounding like voices.
Time is gently passing by.
No one there, but you and I.
Gentle thoughts on my mind.
It’s why we come here all the time.
A time to remember often.
Each kiss makes the moments soften.
Summertime, and the living is easy.
I speak of it & feel you squeeze me.
But, alas, the time has come.
We must head back where we came from.
Be assured, we will come again.
After all, you are much more than a friend.
