A chirp from a crickets leg
the flash from a lightning bug.
Croaking from a distant frog
give my grandson a gentle hug.
Watching stars up in the sky
roasting marshmallows over a fire.
Heat lightning in the distance
songs from an evening choir.
Checking bank poles on the river
Fishing through the night.
Camping out in our tent
with the moon shinning bright.
Scary stories by the fire
scout camp for a week.
Staying up till dawn
the bubbling of the creek.
The warmth of the sun
its daylight until late.
Fishing on the river
a new kind of bait.
School has let out
vacation time is here.
Trips to far places
a special souvenir.
Girl friends at the beach
surf in the ocean.
I love summer time
and all the commotion.
