Summer is the time
That lives in our hearts

There is robins and flowers
And picnics in the park

It is the time of year
We wait for the most

We wear our Summer clothes
And get rid of those coats.

Mother Nature fills her trees
With leaves of green

High on the branches
Birds whistle and sing

Gentle breezes whip
And then whirl around.

The sun nips our nose,
And turns us golden brown.

The days last so long,
Leaving hours for fun.

We listen to the crickets
And watch the setting sun

The stars shimmer bright
Way up in the sky

While lightening bugs by the dozen
Drift silently by

Yes Summer, the time to take notice
Of things in life

The time to enjoy Mother Nature
And forget our strife

Time to spend with our
Family and friends

Enjoying those delights
That Mother Nature sends
