Summer

I know it was here just the other day
the start of Summer was on the way

The beach, the park, the pool did you say
all fun things to fill a long summer day

Visiting friends, some travel not far away
we have so many hours to waste in a day

But today I awoke and much to my surprise
Summer was gone like a quick sunrise

Now it's the last minute crunch to get ready for school
backpacks, pencils and other colorful tools

Gone are the days of jammie's till noon
It's rise and shine have to be at school soon

It's hard to let go of the things left to do
guess that's why next year we get Summer too

Wait just a minute I thought of a reason
to smile again about this Summer season

It's Florida you see and that means just one thing
We enjoy Summer year round and that's a reason to sing

PS. better start Christmas shopping
