Lollipop Kisses

Hand in hand they run
Grass above their heads
Lost in a world
Of a seven year old’s
Fantasy

Summer heat hangs thick
Sweat clings hair to her face
Sweat clings a shirt to his back
Cicadas chirp and butterflies flutter
Still lost in the world
Of a seven year old’s
Fantasy

Under an oak tree they sit
Gasping for air that eludes them
A lollipop is revealed from his pocket
A smile dances on her lips
They take turns enjoying the taste
Sharing lollipop kisses
Forever lost in the world
Of a seven year old’s
Fantasy
