Green leaves cling to the trees
Hoping for warmth yet to come.
Defying the frost, dreaming
Expecting an Indian Summer.
Friendships forged in youth
In their hearts unchanged.
After twenty years ageing?
Hope for a new generation.
Parents following, exhausted
Children playing, laughing,
Too young to be embarrassed
At attempts to relive youth.
New friendships forged
Exciting, exhilarating games.
Parents clinging to dreams
Hoping for an Indian Summer.
