Summer is Here

In all it's splendor,
It's long warm days and it's refreshing nights,
It's laughter and joy,
Vacations and day trips,
bare feet and shorts,
Running and jumping,
Playing at the beach,
Singing and laughing,
Making merry,
Playing games,
Picnics and parties,
Out door concerts and plays,
Barbecues and watermelon,
Camping and tents,
Campfires and marshmallows,
Long walks and long talks...

Oh the beauty of a summer day,
Memories of childhood dance in my head.
Refreshing me and filling me with energy 
and curiosity to check out this new day,
and how I can play,
Causing me to  feel young once again...

It's A New Season

A season of healing and learning,
A season of growing and moving forward inside,
 A season of gaining vision and planning,
 A season of setting boundaries within and without. 
Until at last the revival in my soul can sing a new song
 and push me forward with it's fire once again...
