The sun rises higher and higher, like a blossoming flower, as the children play...
Beach, Beach, Beach
The zephyr catches my skin like a wide receiver playing football...
Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh
The crashing waves sound like a head-on collision...
Boom, Boom, Boom
The sand crunches under my feet like cereal in my mouth...
Crunch, Crunch, Crunch
The salty water is carried with the wind...
Howl, Howl, Howl
The gulls soar higher than the clouds...
Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh
The child crashes to the ground like a rock slide...
Boom, Boom, Boom
The man walks on shells that feel like needles...
Crunch, Crunch, Crunch
The dog is angered by the birds...
Howl, Howl, Howl
The kite flutters like a plane...
Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh
The afternoon thunder blasts like a cannon...
Boom, Boom, Boom
The child snacks on some chips that sound like glass...
Crunch, Crunch, Crunch
The night has fallen and the coyotes holler like babies...
Howl, Howl, Howl
The sun rises again higher and higher, like a blossoming flower as the children play...
Beach, Beach, Beach

A Friend is Someone...

A friend is someone
You turn to.
A friend is someone
You confide in.
A friend is someone
Who stands by you.
A friend is someone
Who lifts your spirits.
A friend is someone
who encourages you.
A friend is someone
You treasure always.
A friend is someone
Who makes you smile.
A friend is someone
Who brightens your day.

A friend is you!

I Didn't Go Camping

I didn’t go camping.
I didn’t go hiking.
I didn’t go fishing.
I didn’t go biking.
 
I didn’t go play
on the slides at the park.
I didn’t watch shooting stars
way after dark.
 
I didn’t play baseball
or soccer outside.
I didn’t go on an
amusement park ride.
 
I didn’t throw Frisbees.
I didn’t fly kites,
or have any travels,
or see any sights.
 
I didn’t watch movies
with blockbuster crowds,
or lay on the front lawn
and look at the clouds.
 
I didn’t go swimming
at pools or beaches,
or visit an orchard;
and pick a few peaches.
 
I didn’t become
a guitarist or drummer,
but, boy, I played plenty
of Minecraft this summer.
