A checkered red and white blanket placed on the ground
Bread and jam and honey and all the strawberries we found
The sunlight filtering down through an oak tree
Apple-stuffed cheeks and lukewarm thermos tea
Full tummies and sticky hands and shiny big smiles
Flowers and happiness and soft warm wait-a-whiles
The odd cloud provides a nice respite from summer sun
The playground swings squeaking from the weight of so much fun
