Blowing Bubbles

Two blond heads with beaming smiles
on the other side of the screen door.
Blowing bubbles from their magic wands,
carried off on the breeze.

The deck is soapy,
     the window is too
          but I don't care at all.

Two blond heads with beaming smiles,
soapy from head to toe.
This is a perfect summer day
with rainbow bubbles everywhere.

The sun beams down
     but not as brightly
          as the smiles of these two.

Something as simple as bubbles in the air
brings joy to all who see.
This is a perfect summer day
with rainbow bubbles everywhere.

There are few things that bring us more happiness than watching children having fun on a summer day. Who cares if the deck and windows get soapy? Very nicely done, Francine! Congratulations on your success in Deb's contest! Love, Carolyn
