A MilKid's Summer Song

Summers of adventure, summers of change,

A MilKid's life, always in range.

Summers of exploration, of discovering new places,

meeting new people, and finding new faces.

Learning to adapt, to be resilient and strong,

a childhood of movement, never staying too long.

New bases, new homes, new friends to see,

a nomadic childhood, wild and free.

Memories of base pools, beach days, and outdoor fun,

carefree summers, before the next move is done.

MilKid summers, a time of growth and change.

A season of memories, as we turn the page.

Each summer a new chapter, a fresh start, a clean slate.

A chance to redefine "home," to create a new sense of place.

For MilKids, summer is a time to thrive,

to find joy in the journey, to make the most out of life.

Summer's warmth brings a known sense of calm,

a brief reprieve from life's alarm.

A new horizon beckons, a fresh start unfolds,

one chapter closes, as another is told.

The comfort of routine, replaced with unknown,

the process of adjustment to a new place called "home."

With every move a piece of us remains,

a fragment of love in the places we've gained.

This poem, a cycle, one that grows long.

I guess you could call it a MilKid's summer song.
