I
The days are now hot
Air is hazy and humid
My forehead is damp
II
The school doors open
Finally free, we run home
Students are now kids
III
Dad packs up the car
“Buckle up for adventure!”
The journey begins
IV
Outside the windows
A brand-new world passes by
I’ll have tales to tell
V
The trip is over
But summer is not yet done
There’s yet time for fun
VI
The ballgame with Dad
Peanuts and sodas we share
Bugs flit in the lights
VII
The Fourth of July
Barbecue’s smell fills the air
Fireworks at night
VIII
Back-to-school shopping
New clothes, paper and pencils
Where has summer gone?
IX
One last summer fling
Play like there’s no tomorrow
Because there isn’t.
X
School year starts today
Sadly we get on the bus
Why is Mom smiling?
