SUMMER IN THE SOUTH

Waterholes and tarzan swings,
Minnows nipping at everything.
A pick-up game in the corner lot,
No one wins, it got too hot.
Creek mud squishing between your toes,
Freckles popping out on your nose.
Hunting crawdads and big bullfrogs,
Looking for lizards in rotting logs.
Junebugs tied to a string,
Amazing colors of a butterfly wing.
Katydid's talking all through the night,
Minature flashbulbs, firefly lights.
Big and ugly plameto bugs, ick!
Clickity clack down the fence with as stick.
Ice cream dripping like falling rain,
A distant whistle, the 10 o'clock train.
Dime store candy in a bag,
Kick the can and capture the flag.
Grandpa teaching you to chew and spit,
Knowing Momma will have a fit!
Daddy tend the crops with strong hands,
Come harvest, Grandma puts it up in cans.
Silk turning brown on the corn,
Dirty feet, shoes are never worn.
'Mater sandwitch juices running down your chin,
That was good, do it again.
Music from the ice cream truck,
Playing in puddles like a duck.
Picnic suppers in the park,
Flashlight tag after dark.
Camping out under the stars,
How far away is Mars?
Stories around the campfire light,
May not get any sleep tonight.
Skipping stones across the lake,
Wondering how many hops it will make.
Getting soaked with the garden hose,
Smell the beauty of a rose.
Parade down Main St. on the 4th of July,
Being one of those who remembers why.
Watching thunderstorms as they rumble by,
Looking for a rainbow in the sky.
Spitting watermellon seeds from your mouth,
All just a part of summer in the south.

What a wonderful hope in life
That we can get this right
That we will see that it is there
And if it is--where?
Is it always there for all?
My hope is there will never be a wall
Love is that wonderful hope in life
For the poor, the rich, and those in strife
It's a wonderful feeling to share love
It's a wonderful feeling--to feel loved

The Almighty shares and gives love
The weak, meek, and humble crave His love
We are very grateful for the many blessings we enjoy at His hand
Let us return His love by serving our fellow man.

i call this 'the flowers of the rainbow'

The colors of the rainbow are what everyone loves so,
For first there’s rose red,
Making you want to smile all the while,
Then there’s orange that looks like a marigold,
As pretty as gold,
Next of coarse is sunflower yellow,
Well after that is chrysanthemum green,
It makes you feel like a queen,
A morning glory blue is next,
As you can tell it’s very complex,
6th, indigo,
It just makes me want to go
The final color is a lavender violet,
It makes me feel like a pilot,
So as you can see,
The colors of the rainbow,
Is what everybody loves so

the bright moonlight covered the soft purple mountens deep into the night as i sit by my window thinking of you,
i'm in love sure,
life is like a recipe, you have to stir,
love is like a dove, precious and pure,
my heart is pumping because of you,
every second of my life i'm living because of you,
and i cant live without you it's true,
i love you

i look up into the sky,
i see a shooting star go by,
i close my eyes and make a wish,
i open my eyes and aperes a magic fish,
"your wish is my command" says he with glee to me,
and we were friends for all ettenady
