moonlight dancing, raindrops glistening,
splash, laugh, smile, run
oh, what a time, remembering when
climbing trees, yelling "you're it,"
rolling down hills, jumping leaves
catch with my pup, racing the wind
curled up with my kitten
purring songs of love
peeking around the corner
seeing my father, working hard
glancing back, pretending not to see
mother in the kitchen making dinner
humming tunes, sweet as smelling flowers
