Line Gauthier Poet Verse

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
