Reluctant to Let Go of the Freedom of Summer
sand in between my toes felt cool this morning
the temperature has changed, now it is gritty and hot
uncomfortable feelings now, I need a bath
I turn and look at the sea one last time
the beach is not as full today
people are dribbling off to college campuses
families are in line at shoe stores for new school shoes
summer is waving good-bye to all of us
she knows she will not see us again for a year
I am conflicted
wanting bonfires and football games
but reluctant to let go of the freedom of summer
