Remember The Picnics

Remember the picnics one day they’ll be gone with only a memory to blanket the green For warm summer days are not meant to remain we feast them away with the wine of our youth Remember the picnics when winter blows in when ice cycles forecast the cold days ahead It’s then that we need them through every last sigh to hold once again in the bloom of our hearts

We should savor every moment in life. Undertake many picnics in favorable times, so that we can relish their memories when winter comes into our lives and we are no more able to see and enjoy what's around. Beautifully written dear Mike.

Hello Mike, Ohhh such a gentle nudge to savor the present, to cherish the people we love and to tuck these golden moments away for the winters to come. I’m grateful for every nuance of life. Enchanting. Summer Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Summer's still here so I'm going to revel in it. Haven't had our first picnic of the season yet. Your poem will be the inspiration to get planning.
