Fireworks

When we were young, in the wonder years
Summers would bring the warm nights
When we found relief from the heat of day
And the stars and the moon were our lights.

And we went to the park in July
To watch the jeweled displays
Safe with our parents close by
Watching fireworks bursting away 

And the sky filled with  colored fiery rain
And smoky clouds drifted away
Lifting my heart for a time and  space
Bringing a dream for another day
