Summer Reflection

I remember summers past My arms around pretty women Making love on the beach or in a car Summer brings romance in its wake The years come and go This evening I flipped on my "Festival of Lights:" CD Soon autumn will come with the NY Giants heading off to battle and the high holiday services which I always used to attend with my father He is gone now But I'm still here! The presidential elections are coming, too Someone will win - others go down to defeat Our nation survives, friends For all its faults - it is our homeland Let us hope love triumphs over hate So we Americans can continue to live decent lives

Yes, we should enjoy these last few weeks of summer while they are here. Although, the autumn season offers much to look forward to, as well... Some very nice memories you've shared here and thoughts of what is to come. Well done, Matthew.

Yes, let's hope. But too much division. There is no center anymore. Great write! Lots to think about.
