An ode to summer!
I am
barefoot this summer
On the
hot sandy beach
The black
tar burns my feet
The
rocks, they hurt deep
I am
barefoot this summer
No
schedule, no bedtime
No alarm
clock that chimes
The day
is all mine
I am
barefoot this summer
All day
in the pool
Florida
to NH, staying cool
Embracing
family, they are fuel
I am
barefoot this summer
The
calming beach house, I work
Writing,
phone calls, proposals lurk
Self-employed,
a summer perk
I am
barefoot this summer
My
children giggling, laughing, joking
Fighting,
annoying and poking
Hugs,
love, summer soaking
I am
barefoot this summer
Baseball
on the beach
Corn on
the cob, lobster to eat
No shoes,
tanned and painted feet
I am
barefoot this summer
Collections
of rocks and shells
Grace
beach pails and my shelves
Remind me
of living well
I am
barefoot this summer
Commercials
remind us about going back
New
sneakers, clothes and a backpack
Not ready, so I slack
I am
barefoot this summer
There the
summer goes
Dreading
the winter snows
Hoping it all slows
I am barefoot this summer
Grateful
for humid and starry nights
All in one bed, snuggly, we click out the lights
Being
present every moment with all my might
We were
barefoot this summer!
