Here’s another one for Sherry to close out our special day. We lived in a small subdivision on Lake Travis for a little over nine years. The time we spent there was wonderful and there were lots of precious moments. This poem describes one of the many special evenings we shared there.

Precious Moments

 

As we enjoyed a simple supper

At a table beside the lake

The sun seemed somehow anxious

To drop over the horizon

 

As it slipped behind the hills

The sky glowed a cautious yellow

Then as evening came

Faded to a hazy denim blue

 

Friends stopped by

Said hellos and sat for a while

Then bade us goodbye and left us

To our quiet little party

 

As the sky darkened to twilight gray

In the sun’s place there appeared

A lazy crescent moon

Reclining in the western sky

 

Hands entwined, we talked of tomorrows

As we relished the last moments

Of another perfect summer day

For such precious moments, I am thankful
