SUMMER LOVING
By Steven Godfrey 

I can hear the birds singing , the buzzing of the bees 

The wind gently moves the branches , providing a welcome breeze

The sun is out ,it's overhead and giving of good heat 

Summertime for many people simply cannot be beat 

Other people prefer the cooler weather , some even like the rain 

As long as I'm not uncomfortable ,you won't hear me complain 

Summer when I was young , was full of things to do 

Outdoors all day long the days really just flew 

Everyone's door wide open , Windows would never close 

Out with the paddling pool , someone fetch the hose 

Fill it up with warm water , that went cold pretty quick 

No one really cared , that is how we got a kick  

Yes,  times were different when I was younger, especially in the sun 

So much youthful energy , that you just had to burn 

As we get older , and those days seem so far away 

Oh to be a kid again ," mum I'm away out to play "

What a lovely picture you paint of those beautiful summer days, our youthful carefree days before reality set in, all gone too soon~enchanting Steven!
