A Summer's Day

A summer's day is time for waters
Time out to sail or swim blue waves
Time to feel the rays of sun
Time to see holidays
Time to hear music
Time to be free
Time to live
Time in
Warmth

Jim said...: This is so very nice, your picture too. Is that your daily view? If so I'm jealous. Of course you are having summer right now. It is cold here in Texas right now, we got down to 30°F last night.
We escaped to the Caribbean last week but had to come back Tuesday.
