4th of July

Who said it's too late to live like a child?

Awash in a bright innocent glow

Of a moment in which we forgot to grow

Transported back to a time that was simpler

Red faced from play

Just us racing against the fading day

The wind filled with laughter

Our gang of bikes in the street

Who knew enjoying the moment was such a simple feat

We danced in the moonlight

And we laid in the grass

We steeped in the moment so it wouldn't just pass

Eyes alit at the bursts in the sky

Gregarious grins of adults who let go

Our inner children had taken control

A day filled with moments so dear

embraced by friends and warm summer breezes

Solidified in my memory this day frame freezes
