Light, Sound, and Family

The mist off the lake,
tickles everyone's hearts,
as they ready for that magical sight;
they'll soon gather around,
for the sights and the sounds,
of this signature, summer night.

and our group is large,
we're from all over the map,
of that image of the western coast;
where most of the time,
it's Summertime,
the season that's the favorite of most.

I really can't say,
much else about that day,
except, I always try to be kind;
because of the way,
I always feel on that day,
when I think of the deaf or the blind.

You better recognize,
this magical way,
that most celebrate a Country, GREAT !
Your'e senses'll be numb'
when this night is done,
so one never  wants to be late.

If you've not got a lot,
it matters, not.
Silver Lakes has a "Show", and it's free !
and the feeling grows,
as I remember past shows,
of Light, Sound, and Family.

And as I end this verse,
I must remember to say,
to all hearing the thoughts in my head;
I cherish these Times,
because they make my life rhyme,
when all is done, and said.
