Week 14: The summers we've had | Brenda Rose

Voices sounded like

Summer sighs

And we're the wind blew

We got lifted high

Beautiful colours

Surrounded us

With light from the past

And just like apples gathered from a tree

We reaped

Oh, what a lovely summer we've had

We came to see

Our lives are wired

With the days

We lived back when we we're young

We remenisced

And what we did back then

We've now repeated

Oh, what a lovely summer we've had

With tales from the past

A new history

We've made

We sang 'till we're soar

Swam 'till we're cold

Laughed 'till we cried

Then and now

So thanks to our mothers

Thanks to our fathers

Thanks to our brothers

And anyone who loved us

Oh, what a precious youth we've had

Oh, what a life of complexities we've had

Oh, what a lovely life we've built

With thanks to the friends

And the good men we have

Oh, the summers we've had
