.
Hot Summer day
Slight breeze blowing
Somewhere in the distance
Cows are lowing

White gravel road
Far from the city
Kicking up dust
Bare feet become gritty

Modest little houses
Scattered about farms
Peaceful existence
Sheltered from all harms

Toe-headed boy
Laying in the road
Studying quietly
Mr Horny Toad

Both on their bellies
Unmoving and complacent
Wonders of childhood
Time well spent

Innocent days
Fleeting and few
Reveling in life
Discoveries forever new
