Fun In the Shade

we can have fun in the shade
just sitting here enjoying one
of our once in a lifetimes
whether eating a peach from
the tree or enjoying lemonade
and saying nothing, we can let
our minds wander and just forget 
that we have to remember remembering
to remember

we can have fun in the shade
just sitting here enjoying the 
many facets of God's creations
whether reading a book from a
really dusty shelf or licking a 
vanilla bean ice cream cone, we 
can just free ourselves weightless
and just forget that we have to worry 
about worrying about being worried
