It's been a week of kiddos, corn, peaches and flowers...So fun!
(and sinus infection.😏) No fun!
Would, we could relive your hours
Linger longer in your flow’rs
Pause your page of cricket-hymns
Stay the stage where summer dims
Would we could retrace your days
Lusty, musky, dusty haze
Heaven-shimmers from a flask
Pouring more than we could ask
Would we could, but none can stall
Rush or save time’s free-for-all
No one can return a bit
To redo one flit of it
Would we could turn summer’s chime
Back to one ‘o clock in time
But time tarries for no one
It is always here and gone
Would we then, with thankful heart
Seize the mist of moment-art
Give the best that we can give
To that which none can relive
