The First Day of Summer

I see children running in the street
free of textbooks and backpacks,
barefoot, playing football

I feel the sun upon my face
its warm caress
bundles me in peace

I smell the fresh dew on the morning grass,
so sweet smelling,
the scent of freedom.

I hear the song

and can't bare to see it go

Beautiful We Are

Beautiful the night
but it does not compare
to the twinkle in your eyes
greater than the stars up high.

it will be forevermore
my heart belongs to you

Your First Kiss

A first kiss in the hallway by your locker,
in the schoolyard after soccer,
in a car with a mountain view
as the sin rises anew
under the sunset while holding hands
in the roaring ocean next to glistening sands.
Your first kiss on a mountain high
under the sparkling, starlit sky
while the clouds are pouring rain
in the dining room of a bustling train
beside a beautiful, blossoming cherry tree
on the swing set with fluttering blue jays so free.
There are many great places for one's first kiss
but before you kiss remember this-
that moment is only lived once and should be pure and true
so make your first kiss with someone who truly loves you.
