Do you remember playing baseball? <br />Or hitting tennis balls over the net? <br />Do you recall basking in the sun? <br />Those were the best days of all. <br /> <br />The warm times are coming back <br />Sporting baseballs are here again, <br />And whacking tennis balls for hours. <br />It is time for hot days to be on track. <br /> <br />Funny, how I think of summer days <br />Winter’s call is still in full force <br />The snow is falling inch by inch <br />I long for the sun to shine our way. <br /> <br />I wait for the first flower to grow, <br />The first robin to begin singing, <br />And the first butterfly to fly by. <br />I bide for the long days to glow. <br /> <br />Winter is slowly fading away, <br />The comfitures are now aside, <br />And springtime has finally come. <br />A bright rainbow glowed our way. <br /> <br />Yes, the hot days are back again <br />Jack Frost left for the winter season <br />I can finally play tennis with friends, <br />And throw baseballs all day again. <br /> <br />The sunshine is shining down on me. <br />How summertime makes me smile. <br />If I could part a smile with someone, <br />I would definitely share it with thee.<br /><br />Monica Engeler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wishing-for-summer/
