That was summer

That was Summer

Have you ever felt summer?
Sure you have.
Remember that time when we went to the beach
and felt the sand between our toes
and the freezing water when we launched in
and all the shells we found on the sand?
Remember all the fun we had ?
That was summer.


Have you ever tasted summer?
Sure you have
when we ate BBQ
that was tasty and hot
and when we had steak and sausages
and all the drinks we brought?
Remember that feeling when you ate and enjoyed your food?
That was summer.

Have you ever felt summer?
Sure you have.
Remember that time
when we went to Extreme  
and played on all the games
and got to play bowling and I got a strike ?
Do you remember how glad I felt?
That was summer.

Have you ever jumped into summer?
Sure you have
Remember that time
when we went to jump
and played on the trampolines all day   
and I did a backflip but did not land it?
Remember that feeling,
all embarrassed, but joyful?
That was summer.

Have you ever heard summer?
Sure you have
Remember that time
when we went to visit with my family
and played rugby at the back yard    
and I got a try but we lost?
Remember how everyone was filled with laughter,
all eager to play?
That was summer.
