A Memory Of Summer

A warm and sunny day greets me

The sun is brightly shining

Its golden rays warming everything

Under the shade of heaven's canopy

I look at the sky and marvel

At its clearness and brightness

Azure hue of the sky holds my gaze

Tufts of white clouds are drifting

Like huge balls of cotton floating in its vastness

Colorful kites are flying, soaring high in the sky

As children release their strings

The kites swayed and wiggled their tails

Pushed by the summer wind to greater height

What a wonderful sight to behold

As the kites gracefully danced to the rhythm of the wind

How freeing it must be to fly in the sky

Like these beautiful kites I am seeing

Then I remember it is now the month of April

And summer has already began

The sun smiles so bright and warm

Emitting rays that blazes with heat

Burning and wilting the tender leaves in the trees

A memory of summer spring to mind

A summer of long ago I had as a child

Back in our old home by the sea

They were the happiest season of my youth

Full of warmth and joy

The sea and the sky were the constant sight I beheld

And the sun was always sunny and warm smiling down on me

I was like a kite roaming free

Discovering life with the free spirit and innocence of a child

That memory of summer stayed with me

It lingered like a scent I cannot forget and erase
