Your poem held me still, like a hush settling across a sunlit porch. “I Want A Really Good Summer” evokes more than nostalgia... it’s a gentle affirmation that beauty lives in the ordinary moments we often overlook. I felt the warmth of hose water on tiny toes, the quiet strength of a father’s embrace, and the sacred softness of community tucked into herb-filled kitchens and stroller walks.

There’s a deep tenderness woven through your words, a longing not just for summer but for time itself to slow and expand around us. It’s a reminder that the meaning of home doesn’t just exist in place, but in ritual, memory, and care.

Thank you for inviting us in.

Sincerely,

John
