Summer Children


How does one contain summer into six simple letters? A combination of tan chlorine as girls swim, of ice teas in swim suits, of white laughter in the sun, of screaming girls in blues, and other shapes and hues. How does one contain children into eight simple letters? Perhaps it is a combination of smiles and hair, of bellies and that beautiful air, of those beautiful smiles, of laughter that sounds like bells, of that joy that makes your heart swells.
