Laying Under the Summer Sky

I look up at the setting sun

I think about all of the summer's fun.

The days at the pool, the summer breeze,

feeling cool. Laying in the tall wet grass

I hope summer doesn't go too fast.

The sun is hot some days so you

go down to the ocean's waves.

You can surf, swim, and just relax

maybe get a tan across your back.

Summer is the time of year that everyone

is full of cheer. Some let go of all their fear.

To me it means that all the stress is gone

I can relax all day long.

No home work, no tests, just lots and lots of rest.

Much more sleep and late nights, that's my kind of

life. Just hangin' out with people that I know

just givin' yourself time to grow. You don't have to be

what everyone wants you to be. I can just be me.

The sky looks amazing tonight. Everything seemed to turn

out right. The stars are starting to appear they seem to look

so near. The fireflies float around, c lose to the ground, lighting

up the night. It is an amazing sight.

Summer goes fast its sad and true but while its here I wont be blue.

I will have fun while it lasts and maybe it won't go so fast.

Even though summer sometimes passes me by, I'll always

remember the summer sky.

I was helping my best friend, Leah, write a poem for her class and I came up with this. A poem just in time for summer weather.

Thanks to all people who review!
