Summer begins
Graduation celebrations,
Weddings
Family reunions and BBQ’s
Fill the month of June
Vacations, and days at the
beach,
Summer camps, and fireworks,
Such a shame
When they all end too soon
How will you spend your
summer retreat?
Cooling by the pool, to beat
the heat.
Maybe picnics in the park
are more your style,
Or visiting relatives afar, for a little while.
A cabin in the mountains, a
bungalow at the lake,
What favorite pastime do
you care to undertake?
Lemonade stands, and
sprinkler baths
Long hikes through green wooded footpaths,
Red, white, and blue marks July 4th parades
And quarters galore for the
local arcades
Body surfing an ocean wave
Leaving flowers on the
kinfolk grave
Fighting mosquitoes, and
brook fishing
Catching fireflies, and
shooting star wishing
Fairs, and carnivals, and old
home days
Simply sunbathing, on a
comfortable lounge chaise
Photos snapped
Festivities saved
Treasure all those
Summer days
Such a shame
It ends too soon
But memories
Last for always
