All on a Summer's Day

A Sonnet by Julie Lacksonen

Author's Grandson, First Day of Summer Vacation

The summer breeze caresses sun-kissed cheeks

Of those who splash upon the water's shore.

A child squats, it's treasure that he seeks

A shell, some rocks, and tumbled glass, his score.

☀️

And then, the water beckons all, "Come in."

With promise of a cool, refreshing swim

And so begins the laughter, calls and din

Of splashing, flips, and racing on a whim.

💧

A satisfying time was had by all

We soaked up sun and washed away the gloom

Creating mem'ries later to recall,

Seeing nature in its finest bloom.

🌼

Enjoy the warmth, the water, sun, and play

For fun is best all on a summer's day.
