Summertime Bliss

Summer time bliss is here again,
I can not wait for the fun to begin.
Sweet heat and salt water walking 
For now, no more winter stockings.

The smell of confederate jasmine is
flowing without care and the children
are playing as laughter fills the air.

Sandcastles and buckets with shovels
lie scattered everywhere, beach towels
and blankets hold their treasures to share.

A day at the beach is all I will ever need,
It takes away winter's deed. 
My flip- flops and glasses  now in hand, 
I can't wait to have sand on my toes again.

Need some help with that sandcastle? Great poem, Sharon. The only thing better than wet sand between the toes is mud:)
