Summer Life As a Kid

Sweet Summer breeze scraped n' bruise covered knees sidewalk chalk marks on your jeans torn clothes, worn as badges of Adventure popsicle stained lips secret crush kisses Summer life as a kid I truly miss it Snatching fireflies from the skies watching sunsets dashed with cayenne pepper cotton candy clouds Sunnies nibbling toes filled with stale bread from mom kick the can, truth or dare, hide & go seek mud pie smiles, warm chocolate chip cookies to eat Summer life as a kid I truly miss it Grandmas sweet tea conversations on the porch covert midnight campfires with friends from spying little sisters Ghost stories to tell, marshmallows to toast climbing trees, fairy tale dreams being the first one picked for the kickball team Summer life as a kid I truly miss it
