Trout Fishing Trip # 3

>>>>>>As day light turned into evening,
               there was a chill coming in the air.
               It was time to take and clean our catch
               and store them so they dont attract the bears.

              Sitting around the camp fire,
              Listening to some tunes on the radio.
              We couldent listen very long though
              The batteries were running low.

              This was our last night for sleeping over,
              For tomorrow we will be heading home.
              But we can get a few hours fishing in tomorrow morning,
               before leaving this place all alone.

             By noon the next day, we were packing up,
             soon to be on out way.
             We made sure the fires were out
             The cabin was cleaned for the next ones to stay.

             Memories like these I will always cherish
             of so very long ago.
             When my two brothers and I had our fishing trip
             is when i wished time would move more slow.

This is wondefully written as were the first two. I love that last stanza and want to remind you that as long as these memories live on in your mind you can relive them as slow as you want. You capture it so well I can picture myself there. Wonderful writing! Smiles from Lolita
