Summer by Abbi Wharton

Summer

Summer is for sure God’s gift to children.

But adults do not see the same magic that is kept in the beauty of the season.

Think about it for a moment…

Sleeping late

Bonfires

Friends

Fireworks

Cook outs

Hotdogs

Pools

Movies

Late nights

Flip flops

Shorts

Flip Flops

Games

Grass

Walks

Think about the small things…

Long talks with best friends

Walking barefoot in the fresh grass at night

Camp fires with stories and S’mores and sodas and laughs

All day long pool trips

Laying out and watching a firework show on an old quilt

Think about things you don’t have to think about…

Homework

Teachers

Learning

Papers

Lessons

Classes

School Lunches

School Bathrooms

Summer is freedom

Summer is what kids stand the school year for

Summer is what renews the soul and brings joy

Now if we could only make summer last our whole lives and all year round.

Not my best but what do you think?
