Ah Summer - the season of disc-content
Frisbees, CD's and plates full of goodies
BBQ's - our cues to become satisfied
with each bite we invite inside
We chew each special moment each day brings
spiced with the knowledge we're living
with our hearts open wide, enjoying the moment
with no thought for tomorrow or yesterday -
This is the true gift of childhood
and it is right and it is good.

The sunbeam full of living things
the sand that insists on knowing
what it feels like between our toes
The welcoming, cool spray of a garden hose -
all the kids giggling and pretending
they really don't want to get wet
and yet - never running just out of reach....

The lessons of Summer are no less profound than those learned in a classroom
for truly, the world with all it's wonders waiting to be discovered by the ever inquisitive minds of children is the grandest classroom of all and the greatest lesson of all is this -
Life is a series of endless moments of bliss
if we remember to remain childlike and curious.....
