July Jubilee

By Sharon Price Anderson

Apricots, cherries,

gardens, grass,

jumping, swimming,

splash, and dash.

Flags, fireworks,

bands, parades,

ice cream, cupcakes,

lemonade.

Hiking, camping,

clouds, and sun,

biking, barbecues,

vacation fun.

Books to read,

time to play,

friends and cousins,

summer days!
