Great Day In Paradise
Feel my bare toes weave in and out
Moist mossy green grass
To warm golden-yellow sand
Feel the breeze rush around
My smooth summer-tan skin
Feel stonger winds take control
Over my chin-length chestnut brown hair
Hear the graon of the floating dock
Rocking with wake
From speeding boats
Hear children nextdoor
Scream as they take turns
Jumping into freezing waters
Hear the yells of excitement
As men scream to the biased refs on the TV
See smiles on everyones faces
Enjoying time together
See food, food, food
And more food
Waiting to be eaten
See a smooth blue-green lake
Completely surrounding me
Smell fish resting peacefully
Under the smooth water
Smell hotdogs, hamburgers, fish, and chicken
Grilling away for our dinner
Smell gasoline from the big
Red container
Wating to be empited into a boat
Taste that little bit of fishy water
Still left in my mouth
From the tube wipe-out!
Taste bubbling goodness
Of Dr. Pepper
Taste salty deliciousness of
Grandma's chex-mix
Feel the last bit of todays sun
Soak into my sunburned
Smooth summer-tan skin
Feel my mind fill with wonder
For the day to come
Feel my eyes slowly shut
As the day winds down
And I sit here on the swing
Enjoying another great day at the lake
