Stories and songs
and memories full of hope
The golden thread in new beginnings
and new stories to tell
Summers full of joy
and train rides a plenty
The clatter of the wheels
on the tracks
Making a gentle hum
Seagulls and fresh sea air
From cliff tops with
wide open space and big blue skies
Exploring new places
and old castle ruins
by the sea
And walks through forests with friends
The roots crisscrossing the path as
we sauntered along
Bright garden flowers
with their bees humming
from yellow flower to flower
Their form so delicate
and always a wonder
Grandpa chasing granddaughter
in circles
and laughter abounds
Oh those glorious summer days
with loved ones
Are moments to savour
and the simple things are often the
best
Time and hugs and the stillness of
just being there.
