a child's summer

Sunlight plays on the garden
where tiny bees gather nectar.
I watch as they sip from all the flowers,
taking hours to get their fill.

It takes me far away
from the things that trouble me.
Life slows down for just a while,
I have to smile and  remember when.

Teddy bear clouds dance on the wind,
float through the air and gone.
That was a summer to never forget,
never regret the growth of my soul.

Even as my Mom called to me
a time for dinner, then to bed.
The day was through,
goodnight to you, you flew on.

    Fran, thank you! And I really enjoyed your play by play of the game, regarding your current post; it fascinated me. That was a huge game board or whatever you call the game scenery. :)

    "A child's summer!" I just feel happy when I first read the title and then the poem. I remember my summer vacations when I was young.
