Summer Dreams

Crystal waters and 
backyard duets bring 
July to an end. Little 
faces gleaming with 
ice cream kisses prove, 
once again, that life 
is good. Fetching puppies 
bark at fireflies, causing a 
weary grandma to smile. 

The scents of fresh cut 
grass and watermelon 
make ninety degree days 
seem almost worthwhile. 
Queen hibiscus nods her 
scarlet crown, beginning 
her nightly slumber, while the 
day's amber sun 
sets to the chirping of 
crickets and the evening 
winds bring breezy 
summer dreams.
