Once a Year
Blue waters and sandy beaches
Pudding and diced peaches
make summers so cool
sun bathing by the pool.
No need to worry
nor scramble for books
finish papers in a hurry
the awkward first day looks.
Sweet melodies the ocean sings
how I do not miss early mornings when my alarm rings.
Summer fun in the sun
Cliché they say
but it’s the perfect summer day.
Long mornings in bed
gym sessions instead
I look forward to the start of summer
But come August, its such a bummer.
Last day of school we jumped for joy
Three months of playtime we get to enjoy,
Groupons supply the many deals
So college kids can afford all their meals.
Memories we strive to create
staying up all night and sleeping in late.
Smiles on our faces,
exploring endless places.
No need to slow down
once a year, summer comes around.
