Seasons I remember

I remember the sun rays beating down on my face, making my eyes squint

At the pool, splashing cold water onto the pavement, getting burnt head to toe

Eating ice cream from the concession stand and laughing with friends

Spending summer days at the pool from open to close

I remember the leaves changing colors and starting to fall

Football games starting, watching my brother play on friday nights

Spending time with my friends under the bleachers

Weather cooling down and changing wardrobe selections

I remember seeing my breathe in the cold air

Making snowmen and drinking hot chocolate

Roads covered in snow and ice

Being snowed in for days, no school, happy as can be

I remember birds chirping and flowers blooming

Starting a garden in the backyard with my dad

Picking seeds out of the things I wanted to grow

Spending all day with my dad
