DREAM-FISHING Endless summer afternoons we spent at the river’s edge, fishing poles in hand and wearing straw hats, so patient we were back then. We’d watch and wait for hours for the biggest fish to strike, just summertime kids, freckle-faced and tan, kids with nothing more important to do than to catch those fish and […]
FRIENDSHIP’S SONG Friendship’s song, the sweetest sound, delighting my heart on this loveliest of days, bringing joy and cheer even to winter’s cold and throughout the summer, as with vanishing showers these warm days unfold.
