Summer of 74

Rainbow ribbons in her hair Playing in the grass with no care Making mud pies in the dirt Skinny dipping in July no pants no shirt Playing hide and seek football too Finger painting pictures under sky blue Racing the wind playing in the rain Singing favorite songs pretending to have fame Riding in the back of an old pickup truck No seatbelt there on a dare so tough Catching fireflies and huge June bugs Sitting by camp fire drinking from a jug Walking to church for Sunday school Praying for sinners crazies and fools Not yet finessed in politically correct Calling it how you see it no regrets
