Summer
by Courtney Stearns

Beautiful and bright
Trees covered in leaves
Grass green as can be
Flowers in full bloom
Color everywhere you look

School’s out, we’re free to play
No more having to get up early
Free to stay in pj’s all day
People swimming or biking everywhere you look
Lakes filled with people

Shorts and t-shirts on all the children
People eating ice cream
Pools and trampolines going up in places you would never dream
Fairs going on in every town
Horse shows and gymkhanas opening

Family vacations being booked
Shopping sprees to the mall every week
Flip flops on people’s feet
Buying stuff to go back to school
Away we go, back to school
