Great Day In Paradise

Feel my bare toes weave in and out Moist mossy green grass To warm golden-yellow sand Feel the breeze rush around My smooth summer-tan skin Feel stonger winds take control Over my chin-length chestnut brown hair Hear the graon of the floating dock Rocking with wake From speeding boats Hear children nextdoor Scream as they take turns Jumping into freezing waters Hear the yells of excitement As men scream to the biased refs on the TV See smiles on everyones faces Enjoying time together See food, food, food And more food Waiting to be eaten See a smooth blue-green lake Completely surrounding me Smell fish resting peacefully Under the smooth water Smell hotdogs, hamburgers, fish, and chicken Grilling away for our dinner Smell gasoline from the big Red container Wating to be empited into a boat Taste that little bit of fishy water Still left in my mouth From the tube wipe-out! Taste bubbling goodness Of Dr. Pepper Taste salty deliciousness of Grandma's chex-mix Feel the last bit of todays sun Soak into my sunburned Smooth summer-tan skin Feel my mind fill with wonder For the day to come Feel my eyes slowly shut As the day winds down And I sit here on the swing Enjoying another great day at the lake
