Crickets sing the nights away as the breeze dwindles
The sun has come to play but burns if stayed too long
Water hits the sand gently as the ocean calls us with song
Lazy days, sunflowers, ladybugs and memories fill the heart
No assignments due the next day, it's time for us to play
Beach, camping, forest, rivers, adventures 'round the corner
All the laughter and joy comes in moments that seem to flutter
Wheat fields, going back in time, history and nostalgia visit
Children laughing, screaming, playing, braids and ponytails undone
Sweaty faces, gleaming eyes, contagious smiles as they run
High school kids and college kids are ready to hit the stores
Dresses, swimsuits, sunglasses – and don't forget the treats
For a brief time each year, people smile, live carefree
Never worry about tomorrow – they know it will be fun
Taking risks, exploring, learning new things about the world
Summer's the time to relax and play, do things you never dreamed
