I long to be with you <br />But summer has built a barrier between us. <br />I use to wait for summer to come and free me <br />But now I search of a hammer to break down its walls. <br />Summer’s walls, however, have not the ability to stand for long <br />If I can endure the struggle to tear them down <br />My strength shall come from the memories <br />We’ve shared and my thoughts of what God has in store for us. <br />My sweat from summer’s heat shall symbolize my love for you <br />As it pours off my brow <br />And the blisters that wear on my hands <br />Will remind me of my fear of not seeing you again. <br />So that I might work even harder to overcome Summer’s <br />Obstacle and hold you in my aching arms.<br /><br />Richard Noggin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-break/
