Summer Escapades
mud pies and hopscotch
played in the sand
nurturing guidance
from my Daddy's hand
butterflies and flowers
my dolly and toys
I left them behind
to be one of the boys
tattle-tales and trouble-makers
were sent on their way
imagination and laughter
filled most of our day
sibling bonding
performed with a scream
singing and sharing
and home-made ice cream
no crying nor whiners
no time left to pout
fearless from sun up
till the last stars are out
chores done for change
and candy in a sack
freedom and pinkie wishes
till school started back
