Summer Skin

My children have indeed been kissed by the summer sun.

Wolfie has more freckles.  He has freckles upon freckles on his honey gold arms.

Tulip, sun- and water-loving Tulip, is a brown nut.  Her skin is so smooth and rich brown.

Luna, laying across my lap, stretching out her arms and legs.  I catch a glimpse of white stripes.  Just two years old, she still has her baby body.  She has a few extra creases between chubby folds on her arms and legs. 

Please stay for a while white stripes.
