Sunflower
A September day
Shadowed by
The summer sun.
As sunflowers
Dance in fading light .
The moment reflects
A wistful sight .
Passing season of heat
And drought.
Lends now to a walk about,
The fields of sunflowers .
Dawn

I wake and rouse
Throw on my shoes
I meet the dark
And watch to see
Nature smiles
Gives back at me.
Happy Place

When time has passed,
leaving memories as traces.
The renewing of play
shows up on the faces.
It is a moment that is treasured forever
of childhood laughs
and treasured together.

Remember These
Summer and flip flops
Ankle brackets and lemonade
Walk around the block
With tie dyes we made .
Summer was forever
Days last all night and
Storms came quickly
Soon out of sight
Summer and flips flops
always something sweet
Summer and flip flops
the sand at our feet.
