maui memories

gentle sunrises,

walks on the beach,

sand 'neath our toes,

for your hand i reach.

sailing together,

diving down deep,

discovering wonders,

these memories i'll keep.

flowers and birds,

not seen before,

captured in photos,

as we explored.

seafood, pineapple,

and coconut cake,

of hawaii's best foods,

we did heartily partake.

recaptured youth,

on the end of a board,

riding the waves,

while age we ignored.

reconnecting our hearts,

smiling and laughing,

sharing our love,

and completely relaxing.

this trip was a gift,

we wished would not end,

if you invite me to maui,

i'll say yes once again.

and when the sun sets,

on the warmth of the beach,

with sand 'neath our toes,

for your hand i'll reach.

flowering fridays

summer's here

sprinklers,

and farmer's markets,

lawnmowers,

and green grass carpets,

singing birds,

and buzzing bees,

lots of shade,

from leafy trees,

fireworks,

and fireflies,

watermelon,

ice cream pies,

summer's here,

loud and clear,

put on your flip flops,

grab your gear.

head to the beach,

for the summer scene,

don't forget,

to wear sunscreen.

sit on your porch,

and eat a peach,

it's summer's bliss,

within your reach.
