At summer's start, how bright our youthful dreams
Like scattered clouds across a bright blue sky
Unchallenged and still green from birth in spring
Our spirits and ambitions flying high
We crashed into life's ocean without fear
Ideas glowed like campfires in the night
Left footprints in the sands of time, with peers
And reaped the spoils of labor in delight
Yet sometimes summer's heat would draw a storm
Uprooting winds would shake our confidence
With faith and hope, our new plans we would form
From lessons we had learned through consequence
Then colors of the trees and sunsets blend
Our dreams now gone, we watch, at summer's end...
