The Summer Cottage

Our little wooden cottage nestled by the sea, Our get-away, our hideaway, just there for you and me. No T.V. and no telephone, but fun there is to be, Swimming, tanning, frolicking, in our cottage by the sea. I love this time we spend alone when the rat-race we must flee. To eat and sleep and just relax in our cottage by the sea. The waves that lap our feet by day, the shade given by the tree, We laugh, we love, we skinny-dip when from our work we're free. And when one day our work is done and from our jobs we're free, Then you and I will always live in our cottage by the sea.

I don't have a cottage either, this is just remembrance of one we used to have on a lake ( not the sea)

great work and wounderful sounding life. Too much quiet can be deafening for me.
