Summertime

The smell of Smokey BBQ, sticky sunscreen and freshly mowed cut grass. 

Ice-lollies, red freckles faces and long walks around the park.

The sky stays light till late, with a warmer forecast, even when it's dark

children scurrying with laughter, with their parent calling past 

Trips to the beach, paddling pools, and music on full blast 

taking the longest to arrive, yet passes by so fast

BUT

making memories, and those special moments to remember , are what's guaranteed to last

Summertime

Summer has always been my favorite season going back to when I was a kid. Your verse captures these feelings so well. I enjoyed the memories. John
