A Beautiful Day With My Daughter

A Beautiful Day
Bright eyes,
blue skies,
it’s a beautiful day!

“Let’s go, Mama!” her cheer,
down the tall slide, no fear.
Twisting, bumping, “this is fun”
one more bend then it’s done.
from the bottom goofy laughter.
One more go, another after.

“Come on, Mama!” she tugs
off to the swings after hugs.
back and forth, smiles soar
keep on going, swing some more!
Chain rattles with gaining speed,
she kicks her legs with excited need.
“Look at me Mama, I’m going high!
Look Mama, look Mama, I caught the sky!”

“There Mama, let’s play in the sand”
off the swing in a quick demand.
Castle made with stick flags on top,
another bucket and we don’t stop.
Laying back she buries her toes
and wiggles when sand gets in her nose.
Shake it off she says “I’m hungry”
it’s time for a picnic, her and me.

Days like this, so fun and sweet.
Mama and daughter, summer heat.
True smiles of discovery
always to be cherished… my girl and me.

Blue skies,
Bright eyes,
it’s a beautiful day!
