By the Campfire: July 2009


We sat around the campfire
On a chilly night
Telling spooky stories
In the pale moonlight
Then we added some more logs,
To make the fire bright,
And sang some favorite camp songs
Together with all our might.
And when the fire flickered
and embers began to form.
We snuggled in our sleeping bags
all cozy, tired, and warm.

.












Sticks and sleeping bags and ants
Dirty hands and grass-stained pants
Gathering wood and piling up leaves
Carrying toilet paper and finding a tree
Sitting by a fire and dodging the sparks
There's nothing greater than
The great outdoors after dark.
