Where Did the Summer Go

/ Ajmorse / Leave a comment

Where did the summer go
We’re heading back to school
I miss the warmth already
As the nights are getting cool

I want those long days in the sunshine
I want the afternoons at the beach
The warm nights that last forever
Lighting bugs flashing out of reach

I want iced tea in a frosted glass
BBQ chicken and mac and cheese
Fireworks so close you can touch them
I want a sunburn, even, please–

I want picnics with the family
I want to taste a summer rain
I want to hug the skies forever
I want to come back home again

Life happens. Did not get a chance to get this posted on Monday. I hope everyone has a great week!

she was three days old
at my high-school graduation
three years old when we watched
A Bug’s Life together
and now eighteen
and driving
and graduating today
about to embark on the world
nervous and unsure
but so beautiful
oh, so beautiful

she is gorgeous on the inside
and gorgeous on the outside

i wish for her
to always love herself
as much as she is
loved by everyone

My niece Maddie is graduating high-school today. How can it be? How can it be?

Mondays

mondays suck
like sour wine
like getting sick
after feeling fine

mondays drag
like fishing net
like unsaid thoughts
you cannot forget

mondays stay
like a bad cold
like stagnant work
and it’s growing mold

mondays crush
like heavy stone
like feeling down
completely alone

monday’s here
like sunday died
like freedom left
and you’ve said goodbye

I suppose this poem isn’t the best Monday morning inspiration to start your work week, but we’ve all been there. ❤️

Sometimes, all we can do is try our best and survive the day. I hope we all have a great work week. Soo busy here!

Best,

AJM
