exchanged glances, inside jokes
late-night talks of love and hope
plan the future, see the past
making our together last
spreadsheet, budget, morning news
scrambled eggs and orange juice
ride to school and then ballet
get the dishes put away
sprinklers, swimsuits, lemonade
take a nap once we have played
tigers, zebras at the zoo
picnic, playground, sand in shoes
porch swing underneath the moon
end of summer, come too soon
telling stories, calming cries
thunderstorms and fireflies
pumpkins, peacoats, fallen leaves
orange and gold and red on trees
tiny batman down the street
fairy princess, trick or treat
waffles, bacon, jam on toast
prepare the lamb for sunday roast
all dressed up for sabbath day
learn to serve, learn to pray
exchanged glances, inside jokes
late-night talks of love and hope
plan the future, see the past
making our together last
