“Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”

paths
new road
traveled by all
from here to there
journeys

bright sun, hot summer
swimming pools and lemonade
vacation camping
freedom to explore, your choice
our democracy provides

Poem:
.
the lake stood quiet under the midday sun
it appeared the world was taking a nap
only the ants were seen on the run
a distant sound, the woodpeckers tat, tat, tat
the school stood quiet, summer vacation
the heavy air set a pace that was very slow
the old man on the bench was in meditation
cows were lying in the nearby meadow
peace and quiet, no worry, no strife
pictures of Tom Sawyer in a dream
oh lucky enough to live such an idyllic life
every meal ending with peaches and cream
time to let the imagination run wild
a reason not to forget the inner child
