Stinson Lake Vacation, 1971
mornings in the kitchen with Dad
cooking up pancakes
downing that glass of chocolate milk
walking along to the country store
going to buy yesterday's news
and a few comic books
picked wild berries along the road
ate them all, went back to the cottage
with an empty pail and a big red smile
days filled with horseshoe throwing
baseball with my brother
and exploring the mountain creek
afternoons in the mountain lake
jumping off the boat dock
paddling back, jumping in again
everyday is a cookout
burgers and dogs
watermelon and toasted marshmallows
Labor Day comes so fast
summer ends
back to school
and the city again.
