Just a Summer Day sandy lanes gone a'traveling with some friends had a lunch bed & breakfast serving brunch come and get us… take a ride and there hidden in a Kansas landscape a lake within circle it, then circle again get on out and stretch the limbs big old Lab, dark and black friendly old pup, looking at us to play, to throw a stick he'll do the running mighty quick took a chance his tongue was lolling threw a stick he went running the day was warm the lake looked cool the dog, oh he was no one's fool brought the stick on back to me… threw it hard long past the trees rippled blue water caught the stick the dog thought "she catches on quick!" splash and water was everywhere the dog dove in with no cares the Kansas sun beamed on down back to us he ran his stick the crown! "Play again! Play again!" his tail waved in glee as he brought his treasure to me! he shook and shivered he spread the wet got me as liquid as liquid could get! but when one sees a dog's smiling smile it makes a throw in a summer's day worthwhile…. and we did it again… 02.05.01 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

This resurrects memories of my two grizzly bears I used to own. (Newfoundland dogs) I've had many memories of those dogs... thank you for helping me find a few.... |
