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.
Go pick berries that taste good;
or scout out the nearby land.
Splash in the creek in bare feet,
chasing fish that swim away.
And track monsters to defeat,
sweating heat of summer's day.
Giggle at the dog's kisses,
or 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 indulge in ice cream pie,
make today a fun-filled day.
