Around the Campfire

There was a time we took a break from our busy lives
And left our busy neighborhoods
To have a campout with our friends
For a while in the quiet woods.
Although summer is a wonderful season,
It comes and goes a little too fast.
We decided to take it nice and slow
And enjoy it before it passed.
Summer is the season for adventures
With warm lakes and clear blue skies,
And I remember the time we decided
We weren't going to let it slip by. 
It was a beautiful summer night
That was as perfect as we had desired
For we were sitting with our friends
Around the warm campfire. 
Both stars and fireflies
Were lighting up the night
It was such a beautiful sight to see.
It made our eyes dance with delight. 
There was something special about the campfire,
It drew us in with its magic and heat
And encouraged conversation, music, and intimacy
Which we thought was very sweet.
We all sat around the campfire
On a long, comfortable log.
We were lucky there were only six of us.
Five people and a loyal dog.
We spend the night around the campfire
Roasting marshmallows and telling stories
As the fire burned with passion
And surpassed us all with its flaming glory.
We all sang some campfire songs
As someone strummed a guitar. 
And before the fire began to die down,
We relaxed and gazed at the stars.
All of us had a wonderful time
And the fire was such a beautiful sight.
Even though we could do it again some other time,
We'll always remember this special night.
