What's in a face that moves a heart -
The semblance, or what's set apart?
'Tis more, I think, the sparks of light
From eyes-to-spirits ... that unite ...
And these, for me, shine ever bright!
(This is my oldest daughter, Sommer, and my granddaughter, Lily, three years ago - too fast!) <3

Lang schon verklungen
Die Sommer Serenaden
Im frühen Rauhreif
Über dem silbernen Gras
Liegt jetzt schon sanft der Nebel
-------------------------------------
Long faded away
The summer's serenades
In the early rime
Upon the silver grass
Lies softly the fog
------------------------------------
Hace tiempo se apagaron
Las serenadas del vernao
En temprana escarcha
Sobre herba platinada
Esta puesto suave la niebla

A love song for Sommer Long
And a tribute to summers gone
Face Painting and tire swings
And friendship rings
Four square and basketball hoops
Capture the flag and camp outs
All Star teams
Softball games under the lights
A smile as big as the world
And a heart to match
she sure could play a game of catch
First base and Ace of base
Short stack and return of the mac
A childhood cut so short
But not untouched
your print here on earth was left
And your memory is not unkept
This is a love song for Sommer Long
And tribute to summers gone
This poem is dedicated to Summer Long RIP
