#405 oh, to be 7 in the summer

black eyes and scraped knees
signs of a happy childhood
of days outside and of softballs missed
missing lunch because the game loses time
digging trenches in the mud and pouring water
a stick and dental floss and something for a hook
equal a day of fishing the brook
apples are for eating, and for throwing
same as snow
and grass should be for walking
