It would seem the days and months have passed by in a blink of an eye.
As October looms into a full moon.
One ponders the beauty of being able to enjoy a simple weekend.
A small, quiet meal with close friends on a Friday evening after work.
The latest movies with the young owls.
A rainy night to help ease the tiredness.
The glorious sleep in on a Saturday morning.
The sun seeping into the skin, as one lies on the grass enjoying the summer breeze.
The cool demeanor of the house, as we return in the evening, to prepare a meal.
Satisfying one's cravings with baking brownies,
Licking the spatula clean of the mixture.
A meal is best served when there is people to share with,
And the best people to share with is the family.
Everything is made fresh, from the mains: steak ala mushroom & spinach,
to the desserts: brownies with ice cream and fresh strawberries,
to the drinks: fresh orange & strawberry juice.
Bring out the tables and fill it with tiles.
Let's play a game or two of mahjong.
As laughter ricochet off the walls,
and shouts of "PONG" and "CHI" could be heard.
The night I must admit fizzles out with a bang.
Time it would seem, helps one to distinguish what is truly valuable.
Though life seems to plod on with its never-ending list of things to do.
At the end of the day, I am thankful for great compadres.
