A warm summer day <br />without a cloud in sight <br />A baby bird <br />Taking its first flight <br />This is what summer means to me <br /> <br />Trees full of leaves <br />Giving me shade <br />My dad and I <br />Fishing in the glade <br />This is what summer means to me <br /> <br />Watching my daughter <br />Play on her slide <br />And how She will never <br />Want to come inside <br />This is what summer means to me <br /> <br />See how she enjoys the day <br />Until the very last <br />Just like me as a child <br />Long ago in the past <br />This is what summer means to me <br /> <br />The distant roar <br />Of a neighbors lawn mower <br />Unruly grass be gone <br />For ever more <br />This is what summer means to me <br /> <br />The smell of charcoal <br />And good friends all around <br />Birds singing in the trees <br />What a lovely sound <br />This is what summer means to me <br /> <br /> <br />© JPM 5/25/2008<br /><br />Jim Milks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-is-what-summer-means-to-me/
