On the 4th

Went for a hike at a nature preserve 

And followed the trail with each lake-hugging curve.

The sun dappled through as it lit up the trees

As we stepped over roots, not once skinning our knees.


We stopped at the Center as we headed out

And met Tin Tin the tortoise, who ambled about.

Then we headed to Ralph’s for some ices to eat;

With so many cool flavors, it sure was a treat.


Though I know it’s the 4th, I don’t need a parade 

Or a barbecue chef with the burgers he’s made

Or the fireworks I’ll be too tired to see

To know this was a day close to perfect for me.
