Sangria Therapy

Sipping cold fruity sangria Under a tilted parasol In the warm balmy afternoon Just soaking in the summer breeze Here come my long awaited friends How discreet time has slipped away Telling tall tales of years gone by Reviving names long forgotten Rekindling places long torn down While tunes play as from a jukebox Resuscitating old feelings Non stop jokes and belly laughter Could not ask for truer allies Gosh look, the afternoon’s over Wonderful getting together Love you all as my family We girls need do this more often AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on April 24, 2018 for contest END APRIL PREMIERE sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 3RD

Love your phrasing, especially "how discrete time has slipped away" and "rekindling places long torn down" - walking down memory lane can do that!
