That was Summer

That was Summer

Have you ever tasted summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you were eating ice block

or making ice blocks

and you were happy

as you enjoyed your ice block under the tree?

Remember how the ice block tasted

so sweet and sugary?

That was summer.

Have you ever touched summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you were playing baseball?

Holding the ball ready to throw

and the ball went as far as you can see?

Remember how everyone cheered

and how happy you felt?

That was summer.

Have you ever felt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you were at the beach

playing in the sand or making a sand castle

and you were feeling hot.

And you had to sink your hand into the water?

Remember how lovely it felt

and how salty the water was?

That was summer.

Have you ever heard summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you  heard birds making a song by tweeting

or seagulls chirping in the background and you felt joyful?

Remember when you were playing instruments

and singing a song in a choir

when birds outside the window joined in?

That was summer.

Have you ever touched summer?

Sure you have.

When you were swimming in the pool, jumping from the board

or waiting to eat the delightful food after the session.

and you stuffed yourself full

and went back into the pool?

Remember how you felt like your energy was back?

That was summer.
