Christine Saputo Poet Rhyme

Camfires and S'Mores

Two weeks of summer camping we spent 
Helping mom and dad pitch the tent 
Sweet memories of campfires and s'mores 
Enjoying time in the great outdoors 

Walking the trails on nature hikes 
Around the campground riding our bikes 
Sing alongs around the campfire 
Hot cocoa and a kiss before we retire 

Giggling 'cause we couldn't sleep 
Telling each other secrets to keep 
Rising to the smell of pancakes on the griddle 
Searching for the right stick to whittle 

Hunting the woods for little treasures 
Pinecones,leaves and a couple of  bird feathers 
Go to the beach water splashing 
Smiles for the camera we were flashing 

Packing the car time to head home 
Didn't want to leave we all groan 
But we have memories of campfires and s'mores
Enjoying time in the great outdoors

        - C.A.Saputo xoxo 

Some of my fondest memories as a child were the two weeks we spent camping every summer!  :)

Walter T. Ashe June 17, 2016 at 5:08 PM I read this remembering the times I went camping and you hit on something really special! What is it about pancakes for breakfast when camping that just sets the day aglow? :-) A very nice memory retriever!!! Christine Saputo June 17, 2016 at 7:19 PM Yes that was one of my favorite things. Waking up to my dad making pancakes on the cast iron pan directly on the fire. I can smell them now! Yum!! Glad I could bring back a memory for you! Have a Blessed evening Walter! :)
