Magic Summers

M agical summers of childhood filled with

A stonishing secrets of nature. Crickets singing, peep frogs leaping,

G rass beckoning to bare feet, dreamlike fireflies giving the

I llusion of fairies flitting through the night, mysterious

C harm of trees bowed over foot paths creating a secret tunnel to my aunt’s cottage,

S parkle of dewdrops on violets and buttercups

U nder shady maples, delightful feel of bare feet in moss,

M agnetism of a bubbling creek beckoning to reveal its

M ysteries: crawdads scuttling under rocks, minnows scurrying, leaf boats floating by.

E nchanted woods, hills, creeks captivating kids. I

R emember the magic my country neighborhood held for friends and cousins.

S ummers filled with discoveries, adventures, and fun.
