Your knife cuts the bark
This does not make you famous
This shows you’re stupid
Your knife cuts the bark
This does not make you famous
This shows you’re stupid
Sandy beach sunset
Boats bobbing as the world turns
A cool way to live
A school will be built
First there must be town meetings
Citizens question
This summer is hot
Political heat rising
Lord, send us relief
“I need you to help”
Volunteers answer the call
That’s how things get done
Wish I had a poem
There must be one in my head
Nope, can’t think of one
Two times to the pool
Double dipping this summer
Splashing laughing fun
We walked the path to the river today
casting modern life away
The lapping water and calling birds
were peaceful, timeless sounds we heard
Someday the boys will be grown men
they will follow their own callings then
But just for this moment
we froze time
Down by the river,
these boys of mine
Baseball with the boys
Excitement and emotion
An eight year old’s joy
Summer passing fast
Mother’s counting school supplies
Kids still having fun
