Remember when we stayed in the cabin in the summertime? You slouched in your hand-crafted chair, rocking back and forth, even with the wind While I gazed out the window, taking in the tranquil light with an untroubled mind We watched them play in that transparent lake we held so dear, during those days When the sun fell, we became mesmerized by the calm waters that reflected the moonlight When you helped Jack hold his marshmallow by the fire And I snapped chocolate bars in half for Sarah and Thomas The scintillating embers whipping up and around the night air, reaching a temporary climax Only to fade to black as they descend from their flight It seemed as though those nights lasted the longest, didn’t they? And the stars...oh how could I forget the stars. They were unlike anything Unlike anything Remember when we stayed in the cabin in the summertime? The Montana sky; a blank canvas for our love The breeze dictated the swaying of the trees, towering above 160
