Hands can provide so much affection, in so many ways: a hand cradling a newborn's head, a hand petting a beloved dog, hands held. But they show our age in the same way our wrinkling faces do, sometimes faster; you can't get Botox injections in your hands, after all. So this focus on hands is a clever way to write about love and the passage of time. I think you're really onto something here. And the rhyme is keen!
You've painted the quaintest of pictures, and I could picture it all so well. It's made me want to plan a trip to North Thetford as soon as I can, and you've convinced me any season will do! I hope you carry on with this genre, travel writing and writing about experiences, because I think you've got a real knack for it.

Welcome to YWP, phOebe, and thank you for this powerful tribute to the planet! You are so right that "we don't deserve her." Please keep writing – your words will move people to wake up!
Roxy! YWP Alumni have a special place in our hearts, so please drop in anytime and post away. We love to read your writing! Thank you for sharing with us such a profound and personal memory of camp and childhood.
The imagery here is bright and sparkling. You've convinced me that there is always beauty surrounding me, I just have to look a bit harder to find it. The nod to the seasons at the end is lovely!

Ethereal! The crystal-clear quality of that lake -- it's a true mirror. I'd do anything to visit someday!
