The summer breeze feels amazing
Especially after a long school year
Going to the park and
doing fun camps and
making lemonade stands is always fun
Especially after school ends
Baking cookies and
selling them with your friends
is filled with excitement
Especially after school ends
Or making a fort in the woods is awesome
Especially after school ends
Coloring with chalk
on the hot sidewalks is a blast
Especially after school ends
Going swimming at the beach and making sand castles brings
so much happiness
Especially after school ends
Going kayaking
and sailing
and canoeing has so much liveliness
Especially after school ends
Sipping on cool lemonade and
eating frozen ice cream
on those hot summer days are always so fun
Especially after school ends
Riding bikes with your friends
until the sun sets is always a blast
Especially after school ends
Catching fireflies in your backyards
is magical
Especially after school ends
Roasting marshmallows and
telling scary stories around the camp fire
is always delicious
Especially after school ends
Running through sprinklers
and having popsicles
are a burst of excitement
Especially after school ends
Watching the sunset
on another perfect summer day
feels peaceful and magical
Especially after school ends
Summer is full of joy
laughter
and friends
Too bad it can’t last forever!
