One Glorious Summer

This is my favorite time of year, my favorite feeling. Summer lets us slow down, appreciate the warm weather and lazy days. Memorial Day has come and gone, the beginning of a very short season here in Connecticut. Enjoy.

For one glorious summer time did not matter
Every day was Friday
It was always 5:05 on our deck
Ready to relax

For one glorious summer our home was the place to be
Friends came to stay
Our way of life becoming theirs
Their hearts have never left

For one glorious summer we loved each other
And our children
And our friends
As if there was nothing more important on this earth

…and there’s not…

For one glorious summer we felt the love of friends long lost
And made new ones as well
Our world and our hearts becoming bigger
With each addition

For one glorious summer time did not matter
Family and friends did
We were happy
We were home

For one glorious summer we changed our lives forever

It was one glorious summer…
