American Summer     Sunday-Go-To-Meeting in soft, cotton dresses,   and open-collared shirts. Picnic on the grounds,   after church.     Wooden tables filled with ripe, red tomatoes,   golden corn, garden green beans,   and sprigs of mint for tea.     Evening walks down a dusty, country road.   Neighbors calling, "Come sit a spell;   take off a load."     Thoughtful moments all alone, chewing on a grassy blade   sitting 'neath the tall oak's shade.     Flags flying, watermelons cooling,   folks sitting on Dresden Plate and Log Cabin quilts.   Fireworks tonight!      God Bless America!
