0069.

A late night run to Wal-Mart not only provided me with all the necessities for a night in with the dogs, but also inspiration in creating this: 

the ABC's of Summer 09

A is for ART

the kind that inspires

your heart, mind, and love,

and passion like fires.

longboarding, or brisk

walking, and scooters--

help the world still exist.

C is for camping

in all nature's glories,

I can't put a price 

on creating stories.

skip if you're bored,

but for me and my house

we make time for the Lord.

E is for Evenings

at home with the fam,

do it each monday

start your week with a  BAM!

and fires and firsts

like hiking R mountian

and watching stars burst.

and things to be taught.

Remember life lessons

and forget what you've fought.

and things that inspire.

Harness your heart

and creations acquire.

Africans, natives.

Culture's people inspire

and make us creatives!

which summer inspires.

And hoping I don't

get caught up in false fires.

a small Rexburg jem.

The plastic house is gone

but we'll still honor them.

Just sit and reflect.

think on and learn from

your past terms well spent.

with good buddies.

In mountain's and houses,

apartments and gullies.

and Sundays spent writing; 

our love to extend.

so do what you can,

to make this world better,

and help that view span.

These join us in purpous

and keep us in loops.

to horkley's with friends.

Here's to the moments;
