Childhood memories of days in the sun Running and playing, simply having fun Hearing the squeals of joy and delight As our bubbles rise quickly and take flight See the happy smiles on the children’s faces Whose bubble will win …watch as it races That big one’s mine – it’s going to be first Disaster strikes and the bubbles burst Borne on a gentle summer breeze Beautiful bubbles blowing in the trees Mixing with the blossom floating down Dressing the ground in a blush pink gown Time to reminisce of days gone by Oh how I wish that time didn't fly Contest: Bubbles and Blossoms – Olive Eloisa Guillermo 04~06~15 ~awarded 11th place~
