Summer Days splashing in the river The bike ride down The wind in my face My hair dancing with the breeze I wish every Day was like This Dad, Hanging up his hammock While me and Maddie walk up the river Making up our own games And convincing Dad to let us Swim in the river Though the current was rough I remember how he would sometimes Say “yes” Letting the water Engulf our bodies Pulling us gently Downstream Years ago I didn’t realize I didn’t see how quickly How quickly our world is disappearing How quickly the water has dried up Those days Slipped out of my hands like water Slowly evaporating Slipping from my hands Dripping into some place That is unknown Someday I will visit this place The past of my life The perfect days by the river Someday.
