Summer Poem by Gregory Huyette

Hotdogs and hamburgers on a sizzling barbeque.
Cold drinks on hot days taste so good too.
Blue skies and blue waters paint a fun view.
Vacations are creations that it's time to renew
So grab fishing poles and plan to catch quite a few.
Pack up all your play things, but forget what haunts you
Like job duties and monthly bills you daily pursue.
Remember for independence what many had to do,
Sacrificing their lives for your red, white and blue.
Amid fireworks and picnics on July 4th pause to
Thank those who made this country so tried and true.
Enjoy summer as it holds all seasons together like glue.
