My big sister Vi
And little sister Tanya
And I
Stepped outside
On a glorious
Summer day
We were outside
Every day of summer
We left home around 9am
And returned home at noon
For lunch
Then we went back outside
Until dinner time
At 7pm
We ran all around
Our neighborhood
We lived on
Meadowbrook Blvd.
We always had
Lots of energy
I was hyperactive
Vi and I would collect
Cicada shells
From pine trees
We played games
Like Red Rover
And Hide ‘n Seek
We went exploring
The Big Yard was
Very special to us
The ice cream man
Pulled up
In his truck
We got snow cones
And licorice ropes
And bags
Of popcorn
We went swimming
In the Brentwood pool
On the hottest days
I also played
With my toys
Such as Chips
Star Wars
Voltron and He-Man
I will always cherish
These summer memories
Of my halcyon youth

The three of us had so much fun running around the neighborhood together! I loved getting snow cones from the guy in his truck! And also we had a great time at the pool! Cooling off on hot summer days! I loved going over to Grammmys house in the summertime too! We were blessed to have so much fun and happiness together!
