My brother plays with a girl across the street
My dad and sister mow the lawn
The sweet scent of grass fills my nose
Birds chirp from afar
This is what I live for
Summer means swimming in the pool
Laughing until my belly aches
Walking to the ice cream shop
Eating myself into a sugar high
The sun’s out more often than not
And it gently warms my skin
Games of spin the bottle on camping trips
Stealing kisses and running outside till the stars are out
I’m still young and the days are still long
Summer is the time when nothing seems wrong
