Enough - CM

I used to lie out in the sun- my getting tan was so much fun. When summer ended, it still glowed, then stayed that way until it snowed. Fast forward now- it's shade for me! Mast my umbrella, one two three! Old skin inferred I know the score; told me, can't take it anymore!

Looking back on our lives trying to get the perfect tan, now we fear what we have done to our skin.❤️
