Summer

Our best kept memories are made
When summer promises its best heat
And we long for coolness in the shade

The strength of the sun is best played
Pushing us to resistant defeat
When autumn will be long delayed

Each day will leave us frayed
When yesterday will again repeat
And we long for coolness in the shade

Along shorelines we will go to wade
Cool water to wet our feet
When autumn will be long delayed

Strong heat that cannot be swayed
Fewer places are left to meet
And we long for coolness in the shade

This season has never stayed
But is the strongest to never be beat
And we long for coolness in the shade
When autumn will be long delayed
