Girl Scout Camp

Teenager summers

By: Lucy Doherty

I remember the sun warming my back I remember kicking the earth I remember watching the dust clouds rise And holding my breath until they settled I remember lying with you in the grass I remember brushing away the bugs that crawled up your legs I remember shielding our eyes from the light Even though we don’t do that anymore I remember the warmth of your laughter But my favorite memory is yet to come
