Dirty Days Upon Us

Dirty days upon us
it’s so wonderful to see
kiddo’s being kiddo’s
riding bikes and climbing trees.

Dirty knees, dirty feet
dirty hands and sticky heat

Dirty face, dirty nails
dirty elbows and dirt in pales

Bug spray, sun block
pony tails and halter tops

Water hose, swimming pools
Shade trees and no more schools

Dawn to Dusk, under the sun
so little time for so much fun



Winding down, it’s bedtime soon
gazing stars and the man on the moon

Long soothing bath, rub-a-dub-dub
off to bed and snug as a bug

One dirty day down, so many to go
I sure hope this summer,  goes by very slow.
