The End to a Perfect Summer

I will always remember

our late night swimming in the pool,

our long 4 wheeler rides in the mountains,

the weekend in a cabin and

fishing on the river,

We played badminton with our grown kids

and laughed at memories of when they were young

We watched movies til early morning hours

and slept in the next day

I will always remember the summer of "09"

and the memories of the summer we met

Long ago...

As each summer passes

Our story ends another chapter of our lives

but we know it is just the end of a chapter

and the beginning of one that is waiting to be written...

Years Gone By

A kiss so passionate

that my lips sting for moments.

The racing of my heart so strong

I can hear it.

I can feel your hand

as you run it through my hair.

I can hear your voice

whispering to me.

The look in your eyes,

the heat of your body,

still radiates through me

like lightning in a storm.

After all of this time,

You still take my breath away....

When I think of summer
I think of you
Long warm days
Swimming in the creek
Getting to know your likes and dislikes
Listening to the stories about your brothers
Taking long drives in your 69 Ford pickup
I think back and remember the night we sat on the grass watching the fireworks
I felt so safe with your arms wrapped around me on that warm 4th of July night
That was the night I knew I had fallen in love with you
My husband of 26 years......
