She hath wings

Weeks of waiting, pleading for
A water soaking time outdoors-
Bunch of Balloons filled with ease;
Toddler drops them from the knees.
Confetti of broken balloons strewn about;
Smiles we cannot do without-
Squeals of delight as buckets drench backs;
Feet slomp slomp and balloons go “splat”.
Hoses soak and sprinklers cool;
Children splash water from wading pool-
An hour or more passes, it’s time to go in;
It matters not if there was a “win”-
Truly the aim was for laughter and fun;
Today brought smiles to everyone!
