Summer Rispetto

SUMMER RISPETTO

In gentle flowing waves of soft warm fragrance
It slowly wafted across the summer field
Carrying with it in solemn elegance
A feeling to me that has yet been unstilled
There is no explanation of the warm glow
That enveloped me as it passed by so slow
The onslaught of this wonderful time of year
A time for me that will remain oh so dear

Susan, as always, it is a pleasure to see your responses. Summer is a great time to make memories and later to reminisce about them. Thanks for your care and encouragement.

What a kind response, My Brother! I do enjoy writing things that have a pleasing effect on people. But, singing with creativity --- WOW! what a compliment. I'll visit you on Soup Mail. I'm anxious to hear all about your secret! My guess is that you will be releasing a brand new album of songs you have written!

Thank you so much, Tom. You'll never fathom how good it makes me feel to see you name - usually the first - responding to what I have written. I appreciate your support, encouragement, but moreover the bond of friendship that I feel has been formed between us.
