I remember that day,

Fresh lake water

Sloshing onto the shore.

The sun glistening softly

On the horizon.

Woods buzzing with life,

But ever so gently.

I remember that day,

Sandy feet

And sunburned skin.

Flames dancing joyfully

In the fire pit.

Hammocks swinging

In the soft breeze.

I remember that day,

Ever so slowly

Falling asleep

To the sweet chirp

Of the bird sand the warmth

Of the sun on my skin.

I remember that day,

Laughing with my friend

At the silly things we’d do.

Exploring the woods,

Our bikes crunching

Over the pine and leaves.

I remember that day,

But now the sweet memories

Are stored in mere photographs.
