Brave Little Campers

Brave little campers

my how bold you are,

sleeping out under

the stars on a summer

night so dear, taking in

cool sweet air on a delightful evening

until a crack of thunder brings a down pour

among you, chasing you back inside

to your warm beds.

Oh, this is so cute, James! It reminds me of the time I tried to pitch a tent in the backyard and my father came out at night making "Moo" noises. (As if a cow would scare me!) Thunder and lightning would have sent me racing back to the house though. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn PS-Had a great time fishing. Posted photos on my blog.)
