Summer Solstice 

gathered around a burning fire

chilling in the afternoon sun

sat on a makeshift seat or bench

watching the children having fun

sharing our fresh prepared food

and a few beers or lemon tea

while reminiscing past memories

in surroundings full of tranquility

celebrating summer solstice

peace and harmony all around

friends and family have gathered

thankful that here, happiness is found
