Patton, USA Share Poem SUMMER DAYS Roller skates and first dates, water fights and late nights Scavenger hunts and game winning bunts, scraped knees and blooming trees Soccer games and Band-Aids, camp outs and no clouds Bike rides and water slides, flip flops and tank tops Tiki lights and mosquito bites, convertible cars and bright stars Long walks and sidewalk chalks, training wheels and garage sale deals Vacation plans and Kool-Aid stands, blowing bubbles and tennis doubles Sun screen and jelly beans, water balloons and sunny afternoons Barbecues and ice cream scoops, sunglasses and sand castles Lemonade and roller blades, baseball spikes and flying kites No school and swimming pools, rainbows and painted toes Carnival rides and dandelions, catching frogs and puppy dogs Finger Jell-O’s and marshmallows, boat rides and blue skies Picnic lunches and cotton candy bunches, camp fire songs and sing alongs Swimsuits and swallow swoops, night time swims and basketball rims Skateboards and meltin’ S’mores, drive-ins and best friends Butterflies and french fries, skippin’ rocks and ignoring clocks Firework blasts and straw hats, pony tails and sailboat sails Pretty flowers and sand castle towers, strawberry fields and fishing reels Bumble bees and putting greens, jump ropes and telescopes, Sleeping bags and frozen tag As the summer sun sets one last time, in a now autumn sky, And summer days reach their end, we can’t wait for them to start again.

O well. u did a great job! america 6/12/2008 9:36:27 AM coolieoo My Answer They ask me what you are to me and I cannot say, Because of all they will read in the air. And they Ask me what I think but when I think of you I go blank and sink into images tangible with feeling. What you are to me is real, whole and not fragile, Not made of glass nor yet sent to reach me out. And then What you are becomes a pure being, a melting spirit of Memory and music, perfection and star brightness in human form. What you are is wish and answer, a hope that is alive and Beautifully terrible, vivid cool fire with an angel's face. What you are is a walking surprise of reaching smiles, A collection of essence, a heart with the power to touch and to move. And I would wish to be as bright, as true as I feel You to be, as substantial as the hand that held mine. And I would wish to be beside you as a living shadow, Always and never there, and felt somehow forever.
