The Sense of Summer

Sunrises and sunsets,
Oh, how the Earth glows.
And here we are all set,
To hear the wind blow.

In the morning of the sun,
You can feel it in your bones.
To go to the beach and run,
Through the suns different tones.

Feel the warmth of the fire,
Golden rays and golden sand.
Swim and play until you tire,
Oh, isn't this so grand?

Sunrises and sunsets,
Oh, how the Earth glows.
And here we are all set,
To hear the wind blow.

Football by day,
Fireworks by night.
Hold your hand out and say,
“Come sit by the firelight.”

Play all day and party all night,
Drink some cold iced tea.
Until the morning sun alights,
We’ll stay right here by the sea.

Sunrises and sunsets,
Oh, how the Earth glows.
And here we are all set,
To hear the wind blow.

The birds in the morning,
The cicadas in the evening.
When school starts we’ll be mourning,
All our summer fun leaving.

The sound of waves,
Of surf on the sand.
Is replaced by the graves,
Of summer so grand.

Sunrises and sunsets,
Oh, how the Earth glows.
And here we are all set,
To hear the wind blow.
