Vacation

Fourth of July meant summer vacation road trips Sun and fun amusement parks and the beach Flip flops and freckles carefree slow days like pouring cold honey Fast and forever friends were found around the corner New discoveries found due to a natural curiosity Sea Shells, sea creatures and sand castles young adventurers like westward homesteaders We had life by the tail, no fear we new infinity We believed we were untouchable This little island was our haven and we explored like we were owners Palm trees and tall grass was different than our everday tall oaks at home Vacation was once per year no time to stop for necessities Blistering sun on tender fair skin Marinate my flesh in sunscreen Daddy would laugh and play like he was a king Mama didn't seem to mind as much on vacation our summer fling
