mason jar nights

mason jar nights

screened porch kept skeeters at bay

hot summer sun had its way

summer storms went and went

fields of hay from breeze were bent

sometimes kool aid other days not

it was a country summer hot hot hot

sunset paraded its pallet of colors

we laughed and talked about others

dark caused change in light

the change of light made it night

then the festivity would begin

fire flys lighting bugs were here again

with mason jars sans lid

we chased the lighting bugs we did

it was fun it was such need

our fondest memories are tickled indeed

when one would holler ... GOTCHA!

catch one let one go

watch the magic glow

rents hollered BED!

past regular time did we did stray

on those hot hot summer's day

we 'ed slow our way across the lawn

hit the bed one more yawn

wake up get up the day would begin

another summer day to do it all again
