to bless summer

hot dogs, hamburgers, steaks on the grill
poolside, park walks, camping on a hill
novels, poems, prose, all that's readable
salads, veggies, fruit and melons so edible
friends young or old, brand new and long past
summer is time to enjoy things that last

every vacation, or day trip that's made
shaved ice, snow cones, pink lemonade
time for the family, and if you haven't guessed
may moments of sunshine be thoroughly blessed
