Sounds Of Summertime
For Everyone We Love
I hear the familiar voices of children laughing and playing outside
The cars slowly moving in bumber to bumber traffic
Having fun going shopping and out to eat
Put the books and the homework away
It's time when kids can stay out late every day
When work becomes a must
Cutting the green grass and planting beautiful flowers
Racing home from work after a long day
Enjoying the few hours of sunshine left
Weekends filled with beach walks and seeing swimmers in the water
Fresh peaches, plums and delicious watermelon
Vacation trips and a tan
The air conditioners cooling the hottest temperature down
From baseball games to short sleeves and shorts
The crystal blue pool water with an inner tube and a raft
Squirt guns and water balloons increase the fun
Every combination welcomes the next generation
Birds chirping during the day and crickets at night
I sit by my window and feel a breeze
My life is endless
Even though our days our numbered
It would be nice to remember
How we live our life
Memories of all the people we have met
The wonderful life we our blessed with
To my family and friends
This is only the beginning of a new journey
Not an end
With a new summer the old one must leave
We all have shared the good and the bad
It would be wise
To treasure the best times in our life and let the rest pass
Keep trying every way possible
To make each day last
Soon it will be my time
To move on and experience
Finding out what it is like
To enjoy everything so precious and rare
With every thought
I want to let you all know
How much you mean to me
When you shine
I will be with you
In the brightest light
