Treat Yourself
I invite you to go wild;
laugh until your sides near burst.
And play like you were a child,
letting raindrops quench your thirst.
Start a fire with scraps of wood;
or sculpt castles made of sand.
Pick some berries that taste good;
or stroll through the nearby land.
Splash in the creek in bare feet,
chasing fish that swim away.
And track monsters to defeat;
in the heat of summer's day.
Giggle at the dog's kisses;
and run like you'll never stop.
Poke a snake till it hisses;
or climb a tree to the top.
Gaze at clouds billowing by;
as they slowly sail away.
And treat yourself to a pie,
make today a fun-filled day.
