We walked down streets we’d never seen
every turned corner another adventure.
We went through countless well-worn doors
always with a new surprise on the other side.
We rested upon emerald grass
and climbed up endless stairs.
We scaled a hill, a garden, a tower, a castle.
We tackled the world hand-in-hand.
I’m thankful for the summers we’ve had
and for those we have yet to share.
