Summer Enchantment

When I am under summer's spell, I'm like a child at "Show and Tell". I want to hold it in my hand, To brag and shout, "Is it not grand?" In other seasons I'm discreet. I don't go skipping down the street. The beauty of a sunny day Takes my maturity away. I quite regress to my past youth. I'm young again and that's the truth. I dream this February day, Beneath inverted clouds of gray, Of blazing sun and summer heat And browning to a golden treat. I yearn for sun upon my skin, The warmth of summer seeping in. Vitamin D my ardent crave, I plan to bottle it to save. In my Northwest home's winter haze, I will still have my sunny days. inspired by Christies "Soul of Sunshine" contest.
