We often live surveying the past <br />as a summer season comes around, <br />and selecting the days of living freely <br />in our memory will be found. <br /> <br />We scrutinize the events of other Summers <br />experiencing great pleasure and delight <br />that once we knew when we were just <br />youngsters when life seemed to be all right. <br /> <br />Through the fading days of yesteryear <br />we filled our life with many dreams. <br />From childhood days to adulthood days <br />it was just a natural step it seems. <br /> <br />We miss the thrills that once was ours <br />the days we felt were always free. <br />We live it over each Summer time <br />and always remains a pleasant memory. <br /> <br />Too swiftly is the flight of time, <br />Though plentiful be the exuberant ways <br />that lead us down memory lane <br />to the scenes of other Summer days. <br /> <br />Though another Summer season shall end, <br />One wish for all of you we hold <br />May Summer always bring an abundance <br />of joy and memories a hundred fold.<br /><br />Joseph T.
