Summer Challenges

The sun rays from above come into play, Causing men and beasts alike look thirsty; They care to stay well-watered every day, And to protect even each plant and tree. People opt for light-colored, loose textile, So they can easily breathe the fresh air; To aid their body contain heat hostile Of the scorching sun that's too tough to bear. Smooth skins apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen, Wearing hats and sunglasses for their eyes; They seek shade under the leaves vast and green, Thanking the sun behind the cloudy skies. Summer makes us learn symptoms of heatstroke, Heat-related illnesses say no joke.

you're so right. Summer is a challenge. Here in Texas, we use lots of sunscreen and hydrate. Well done. If this is for the summer sonnet contest, best wishes!
