Summer Fun

Laying in the hammock in the summer breeze
Looking up at the sky, through the shaded trees
Going to the river on a hot summer’s day
Watching the river’s flow take troubles away
Taking trips to new places, enjoying new adventures
Seeing things up close as the soul happily stirs
Watching the fireworks burst into the sky
Bringing colors to life on the 4th of July
Cooking on the grill, on the deck in fresh air
Sharing good company, with laughter everywhere
Going to the beach, collecting shells in the sun
All of this and so much more, is summer fun!
