The small cottage lays quietly

On the edge of the gentle lake

The dusky blue sky is wiped clear

By the soft breezes that usher you home

They are waiting for you….

Paper lanterns dance against

The budding night sky

Carried higher and higher

By that familiar laughter just beyond the gate

They are waiting for you….

Memories flood your steps and carry you

Back to another place in time

Simple cottage on the lake

Late summer evening frozen in time

They are waiting for you

You step through the gate

And now the party can begin
