The clouds today were wispy and soft
And a little like cotton candy.

The grass today was cool and green
And felt good underneath my toes.

The sky today was bright and blue
And like nothing I've ever seen.

The trees today were tall and strong
And swayed gracefully in the wind.

One blanket, one friend, one Frisbee,
Two sandwiches, two smiles, four bare feet;

Two souls enjoying nature,
One nature so beautiful it mystifies;

One summer day
Preserved forever in verse.
