“summer day”

the green grass, freshly cut,
felt good underneath our feet
our laughter echoed in the yard
as we dashed through water hoses
on a hot summer day we sipped
ice cold lemonade in the shade
waiting for dusk to arrive
with fireflies to chase

  2. I miss fireflies. I live in the desert now, but grew up some back east/midwest. Beautiful piece. And peace.

  9. This reminds me of the better part of childhood, playing in the grass. Sprinklers were the best-
