Memories of Summers Past

Sparkling sunlight
fluffy feathers
a swish of breeze 
in sunny weathers

song birds singing 
in branches up high
blue skies, bright sun 
oh for a gentle sigh

strawberries and cream 
served with lemonade
sat on a picnic blanket 
in the cooling shade

children running 
laughing all around
playing hide and seek 
until they`re found

shapes in the clouds 
or making daisy chains
and watching the trails 
made by aeroplanes

these are memories 
I hold so dear
wonderful summer times 
from yesteryear!
