In the middle of winter
When the days are the coldest
I sit by my fire and dream
Of the days of summer
Hot days when we’d go fishing
Or possibly for a swim in the river
Humid days when we’d sit on the porch
Or out in the yard in a swing made for two
Having a picnic underneath the tree
Watching the kids play a game of freeze tag
While they play with the water hose
Enjoying the blossoms and blooms
While bees and butterflies flit here and there
Waiting for the fireflies to make an appearance
While enjoying an ice tea
All while I dream of summer sitting by the fire

This was so wonderful! Loved your poem!
We're two very different people, Mother, lol. For I, while sitting in the shade by the pool or lake drinking ice tea tend to be dreaming of those crisp fall days with changing colors, holiday celebrations, & hot chocolate in winter after a good time ice skating, snowball fights & simply watching it fall.
Oh ho, I forgot about freeze tag! What was the other one - with a chant that ended in “I hope to see a ghost tonight”?
This is a beautiful dream and vision. Lovely!
This is my dream too. The magical appearance of fireflies are a great image that represents summer. A cold ice tea to top up 💗
