The Summer Joy

This was the start of summer

The sun seemed to be happier than ever

Ice cream cones lit up the children's face

Swimming pools chilled out the winter haze

The wide doors of the school were now filled with dust

Books were kept in a closet shut

This was the start of summer

The sun seemed to be happier than ever

Tingling sand was sprinkled on toes

Sandcastles were built on the beach's shore

Gathering around became a routine

Reunions were full of glee

This is the start of summer

The sun seemed to be happier than ever

Chilled beverages were the main servings

Desserts, with brownies sizzling, were the unconditional likings

Knee-length clothing had been the seasonal fashion apparently

Vibrantly colored outfit filled the town you see

This was the start of summer

The sun seemed to be happier than ever
