Sun is glaring.
Small waves brush
Against the sand.
The children laugh
In the lake that is filled
With people and toys.
Pull into the rocky driveway.
Unbuckle our seatbelts,
And run indoors.
Quickly getting dressed,
And grabbing floaties.
We most likely don’t need.
Painful feeling of
Pebbles digging into my feet.
Which fades,
Once we plunge into the lake.
