Sun Kisses, Is What My Mum Said

Blimey it’s hot Though moan I must not As to see the sun high up above Evokes wonderful memories of summers gone by Of weeks in the sunshine and temperatures high With no sign of clouds in the stunning blue sky From May to September, wearing summer attire And not till November did Mum light our fire Spending days on the beach building castles in the sand Eating nice juicy peaches mixed with sand from our hands There were days when we had too much sunshine and Mum put us to bed, bathed in cool Calamine Our scarlet red arms and our scarlet red legs Made it painful to sleep as we took to our beds And the sunshine brought out my freckles Sun kisses, is what my Mum said The sun she liked me and kissed me all over From my toes right up to my head Now moving towards my twilight years The finale draws closer, but I have no fears 'cos inside my head I am young again Reliving those wonderful carefree days Though now looking back through my memories they often appear in a rose tinted haze As my time runs out I try to live my life in every moment Not wanting it to end just yet I've requested a postponement I enjoy each day each hour each minute not from the outside but from within it So gratefully I will end my days Recalling my memories I assess and appraise My next journey onwards for me holds no fear Finding peace from the sea how I love living here...
