A Child's Wish

Oh how I wish summer would last forever,
therefore the end of our vacation would be never.

Each and every bright sunny day,
the great outdoors is where we would play.

It need not be humid and hot,
otherwise I tend to sweat a lot.

Forgetting about a thing called school,
as I soak endlessly in our pool. 

Every hour consist of nonstop fun,
plenty of time to ride my bike or just run.

After spending some time at the park,
maybe catch s few fireflies in the dark.
 
Then host a sleepover every single night,
and all my friends I unquestionably invite.

Watching movies and staying up late,
with snacks to make it great.

Unfortunately school will inevitably start,
thus causing my freedom to depart.

Eventually I must grow up and be a man,
but I’ll be a kid as long as I can.
