Summer

1 The morning wakes up sunny and bright,
chasing away the chill of the night.
Everything is sunny,
a bright gold wash over the grass,
making the world feel warm again.

2 Beneath a sky so sunny and bright,
the sidewalk shimmers in the whtite-hot
light.

3 The grass turns to gold in the afternoon heat,
while the pavement burns beneath my feet.


4 While I look for a shade or a cool retreat,
the air is heavy,golden,and warm,like the
quite calm before a summer storm.
I dream of a place where the shadows
are deep,when the sun-tired world can
finally sleep.

5 Sunsets and stories told late into the
night,smiles that stay long after the day
is done.Simply being together is the best
kind of fun,with the people who make your
heart feel warm.
