Summer
Staying up every night
sleeping in every morning
The amazing embrace or rain
that come down warm and pouring
With it’s magnificent sunsets
always orange, purple, and pink
force you to sit back and stare
as it slowly begins to sink
The sound of grasshoppers singing
as you buoy in the pool
with friends all around
the breeze tugging warm, yet cool
The number of carnivals come in hundreds
snow cones, face-paint, corn dogs
Nights by the creek, feeling like a small kid
crickets, fireflies, and frogs
Trips to the beach
with the entire family
sand, swimming, and surfing
and the bonfire jamboree
