Tonight I'm thankful for
Boys on bikes, three miles as fast as legs could go
Lime popsicles under the shade tree
Swimming holes clear and blue
Slippery shoes hiking home
Long sword sticks knocking apples from above
Watermelon seeds spit clear 'cross the yard
Long rows of green beans picked by little boy hands
Dirty, sweaty boys nearly asleep by home
Cool washcloths, no time for a bath
Heavy eyelids determined to hear the end of the story
Light out, fan on, crickets serenade
House is quiet
heart is full
Just beautiful! And a really great reminder for each of us to remember the things we have to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Christine. May the rest of your summer be just as wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNo time for a bath--that's the best sign of a good day.
This is beautiful Christine. Very.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm thankful for you :-)
