The Best Days of Summer

A little girl reluctant to leave,
Only yesterday was homesick,
A beach house,
Theirs only for a week,
Beautiful and spacious,
A short walk to a beautiful beach,
With crashing blue-green waves,
And beautiful shells washed ashore,
First year Mom didn't come,
Oh,
How I miss those days,
The crash of waves replaced shouting,
A house on stilts replaced my home on the hill,
These were truly the best days of summer.
