fresh yellow sunlight
melting over the warm summer sky
like butter
chalk drawn doodles
etched across the
neighborhood pavement
the smell of chlorine and
cut grass fills our nostrils
as splashes and kerplunks
hit the pool water
the rays of the sun
are lightly toasting our skin
a golden shade
and the urge to run
through the meadows
barefoot rises with
the temperature each day
when we look back
at all we’ve accomplished
and realize how far we’ve come,
we can’t help but smile
because it's finally summer.
