Let Summer Stay
As summer ends it just seems wrong
to waste or hasten days along.
Let's linger just a little more
in summer's final cricket song.
When nature's dressed in bright decor
and frogs sing songs worth croaking for.
When nights are warm then lovers take
a moonlit walk upon the shore.
When days are spent in pools or lakes,
And grills are filled with flavoured steaks.
When state fair cotton candy's spun
We'll eat until our belly aches.
When kids chase lightning bugs for fun
And roam from home until they're done.
These memories we make are strong
so don't too soon wish fall begun.
