The storm was over
The rain had vanished and
Was replaced by the sun
A beautiful day to say
Goodbye to my children
They had been visiting
For over a week. The
Flight was to Sacramento
So they would be occupied
On the trip for most of
The day. We had a good
Gathering and many laughs
Were had. Memories
Surfaced, happy and sad
We would not trade our
Time together for anything
The years go by quickly, it
Seems, so we will see them
Sooner than we can know
Some are talking about
Moving here, but talking
Is easier than doing. I
Hope they do make the move
I tell them that when they
Move here I will move to
Santa Fe. They do not
Believe me, so they will
Have to move here to
Find out. Adventures are
Awesome and New Mexico
Lake Michigan has a lot to
Offer. The house is quiet
Except for the Television.
It is like going from day to
Night; from summer to winter
And you ask the proverbial
Question: Where did all the
Time go? I will get used to
The quiet, but will surely
Miss them.
