Kids of Summertime

The season that fun is born 

That the sun shines brightest 

Queen of poolside smiles 

Why must you leave? 

Why must you only see us 3 months a year? 

Only until our skin turns brown

That freckles blossom on our nose, 

And our cheeks a rosy pink 

The way in that the sun has kissed us 

Must you then turn to leave?

And we find the cold approaching

With the crunching of leaves  

Oh summer time beauty,

Like the sweet flowers and the painted skys 

What I would do 

To be able to keep you 

For more than till the end of July 

To have late nights all year round 

And laughter ring through the streets

One wish in our minds-

A picture perfect night that lasts forevermore;

You would hear whispers in the breeze 

As we drive past in our car 

Loud music pumping through our viens 

Our heart rate syncing up with the base 

Finding our hands up facing the sky 

Knowing that in this very moment

We are the kids of summertime

I wrote this poem about how I love summer and how I am beging for it to stay all year round.
