School is almost out for the Summer

The kids have just a few more hours left in class. Then the school doors open and they'll be set loose.

And so, a poem for the occasion:







Little orange moth
you flit from flower to weed
Six children lithely chase you
All the fun they need

One would pinch your wing off
The other makes you drown
One holds you like a crown jewel
You're both simple and profound

Come spend the summer evening
Flitting through our weeds
Please come kiss the flowers
And see our growing seeds

I love that poem.
You've caught the essence of our children's joy.
I wish I could have seen them playing in the dusk last night.
Thanks for capturing the moment nonetheless.
