Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from Jane

I can still recall

Our last summer

I still see it all

Walks along the Seine

Laughing in the rain

Our last summer

Memories that remain

We made our way along the river

And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower

I was so happy we had met

It was the age of no regret

Oh, yes

Those crazy years

That was the time of the flower-power

But underneath

We had a fear of flying

Of growing old

A fear of slowly dying

We took a chance

Like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall

Our last summer

I still see it all

In the tourist jam

Round the Notre Dame

Our last summer

Walking hand in hand

Paris restaurants

Our last summer

Morning croissants

Living for the day

Worries far away

Our last summer

We could laugh and play

And now you're working in a bank

A family man, a football fan

And your name is Harry

How dull it seems

Are you the hero of my dreams?

I can still recall

Our last summer

I still see it all

In the tourist jam

Round the Notre Dame

Our last summer

Walking hand in hand

I can still recall

Our last summer

I still see it all

Walks along the Seine

Laughing in the rain

Our last summer

Memories that remain

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from Theresa

Summer's Splendor By The Sea

Patricia L. Cisco

Summer's splendor by the sea,

a gentle, blue serenity.

Caressing rays of golden sun,

blushing, bronzing all who come.

Enticed by its romantic lure,

lovers stroll the sandy shore.

Hushing rhythm of the waves

and salty, misty ocean sprays.

Sea birds echo call of cries,

pierce the deep blue azure skies.

Dolphins dancing on their way

across the sea out to the bay.

A glistening, shiny, sun-soaked day.

All young and old alike at play,

building castles by the sea,

jumping waves and spirits free.

No place on earth as perfect to be

as summer's splendor by the sea!

We are delighted to have a Guest Designer today:

~DEANNE~

Inspiration from the whole poem. Many of the lines in the poem can be seen on the hanger.

Thank you so much Deanne - please take your Guest Designer badge!
