Some see them faintly,

Once in a while.

Others are desirous of an encounter,

Hoping beyond hope … for affirmation.

The rest of us wait, patiently for a sign of their presence.

The recent visit of my father to my town brought smiles to my face.

A walk in the sun,

Breakfast at the “Talk of the Town”,

Cutting lawns,

Fixing stairways,

Sharing all together.

These are the halcyon days of the summer of my life.
