Peach

 Juicy peach

Running down

My chin

Licking my lips

Not minding

The mess

I’ve made

Love

 Today

I’m grateful

To see

To hear

To breathe

And love others

Just as 

He loved me

Pond

 Down by the pond

Pooch by my side

Watching the water wade 

As the fish feed

Is peace 

In real life

If only momentarily 

Independence Day

 Smile bright

Smile wide

It’s Independence Day

Let’s celebrate

Sweet treat

 Sweet treats

Salty feet

On the holiday

I’m enjoying 

The fruits

Of what

Freedom can bring

Heat

 Getting out 

The hose

And slip n slide

About to 

Beat the heat

The old fashioned way

Hot dogs

 Hot dogs

And corn on the cob

Ready to fire

Up the grill

For the Fouth

Of July
