SUMMER
We had sandwiches and apple juice
On that sweet afternoon in the summer
And you only wanted me to play
You had no time to waste in the summer
So you only ate half
I had to laugh
There will always be time for scolding
You're only getting older
So I'm holding my tongue
Keeping my peace
It runs deep and wide
And I'm wading right in
Playing your games
And I'm running the full length of summer
By your side
Making funny mirror faces
I caught you looking at me
Looking at your hair
But you don't care
It's only there for me to measure
How short the days are long
How fast the days of slow go away
So I'm wading right in
Playing your games
And I'm running the full length of summer
By your side

Wishing you a day filled with the sweetest summertime joys! ♥
We had to turn the heaters back on yesterday because it was so cold and rainy. I'm ready for a warm up, but then we'll probably complain because it is too hot!
Yay! Summer!
Pop over to Scribbit's today for the most ADORABLE craft ever!
I love this! It reminds me of a very old friendship and the fun we had as kids. Summer was the best and the two of us thought it was a magical time and would last forever. The memories did.
Thanks for a great post.
It's the same here in the Pacific Northwest, Debbie. The last two mornings have felt like I'm in a vacation destination, the weather is so perfect.
I love the poem!
