That was Summer
By Xavier 

Have you ever felt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time

When you felt the soft grains of sand 

Just flowing through your hand

And the soft breeze cooling you down, 

And just laying on your towel, with the warm beaming sun on you?

Remember how the waves crashed over your head 

And the salt water got in your eyes?

That was summer.

Remember that time 

When you had the dewy grass  running through your toes 

And just digging your feet into the warm soil

And feeling the slimy worms wriggle over your toes?

Remember how you had a water fight 

And you came back inside saturated 

And the water was just dripping all over the carpet? 

That was summer.

Remember that time 

When you bought that ice cold ice-block 

And the juice just kept dripping down your hand 

And it made it all sticky

And when you had almost finished it

The last bit fell off the stick?

Remember how you were running on the path 

And you tripped up 

And you grazed yourself 

And the bright red blood dripped down your leg?

That was summer.

If you try really hard 

Can you remember that time

When you were standing on the beach

And you were watching the sun set

And you felt the last bit of warmth drifts away

Remember how you were beside the camp fire on the beach

And you were roasting marshmellows

And they just oozed in your mouth

That was summer.
