Description

Children are summer
Not bothered by the harsh sun
Or the sticky heat that clings
No, instead they relish
The days that linger and
The nights that seep through
Into summer dreams

I am no longer a child
But at times I am made
To feel as if I am
And at times
I wish I were

Bring back those days
Of freedom and adventures
When we could run barefoot
Under the sun

Bring back those days
Of homemade lemonade
When we could have two
Ice creams, and not just one

Bring back those days
When ignorance was bliss
When the world and our lives
Had just begun

Bring back the summers
Of years gone past
When life was simpler
And friendships
Were made to last

Because today, I am
Old enough to know better
But not old enough
For my opinion to matter
