Summertime

Summertime soothes and refreshes,
Softens our rough edges,
Lifts us from life’s dredges
And grants fresh feel meshes.
Spring announces time to go out
By popping newness all about.
Spring wakes all our senses
So we drop droopy defenses
And allow summer’s coming ways
To frolic cheer through our days.

Let us jump, run and swim,
Then do it all over again.
Sunshine romps with family
Enhance their love’s tapestry.
Sun playtime with friends 
Grows memories that mend.
Summertime adventures
Seek anxieties surrender.
Peace and joy clenchers
Are spun by sun’s splendors.

Absorb summertime’s sun-fun sphere
To fortify hearts for another year.

I agree summertime is family time or should be. Family and nature is a perfect combination. Enjoyed the fun read.
