Stolen Moments – A Quadrille

Stolen Moments

Today I stole precious moments
Sitting for half hour
Choosing to defy summer heat
Longing for sun’s warmth
And the scent of summer flowers
I browse the book on my lap
that tells me to take time
and smell the roses

… so I did

      1. There’s a lot of competition for our attention these days, at least I feel that way. I love reading but sometimes the book just ends up resting on my lap.

  14. As well you should have, summer warmth can and does raise spirits, gives hope when there are days, things feel hopeless. Well done, well done.
