A Summer Day

By Linda A. Copp

The waves slapped the shoreline,
splashing on rocks,
washing the children
who played on the docks.
And the roses sent a fragrance into the air,
so, fresh and fulfilling
that none could compare.
The still and the quiet of this warm afternoon,
belonged to contentment,
ended too soon!
