  1. I used to love to walk in the grass in the rain when I was a child. It feels so good to have the wet grass between my toes. Nothing like barefoot in summer. And to leap -- I like that thought as well. It makes me smile! Nice poem here, Kelvin.

  5. I need to go out barefoot and feel wet grass on my feet. Indeed I remember doing this, and I can feel the tingle on my toes.

  13. See this makes me think barefoot.
    Which is about the best way to go.
    and leaps, take faith.
    So be great indeed.

    Ha.
