Plucking away at petals
Playing love me-love me not
Armed with water guns we run
Sucking on ice when it’s hot

Making faces, tongues all out
Munching on sour, green mangoes
Stomping on mud, pounding clay
Painting on our little toes

Climbing the wall of your house
A quick glimpse of your brother
Drowning in dreams and giggles
Ah, the joys of my summer!
