Campfire

Campfire

 

We looked forward to our campfire

Each time we camped back then

We gathered around every one

And enjoyed our time their spent

 

We split the wood with axes

And a wedge of perfect size

It was a rite of passage

That the young men all survived

 

I can still smell the oak

That rose from the site

With the smoke in our clothes

And watering our eyes

 

We roasted many weenies

And cooked a hearty stew

It warmed us deep inside

As few things really do

 

We left our campfire doused

And were thankful for our time

We respected all about

With the next guy there in mind

    A nice memory. I love camping. It seems to cleanse the soul.With grown up children now it’s just my wife and I who go.A lovely write.
