When you’re young, still in school, and ready to go barefoot, those hot summer days are heavy on your mind. You start to picture yourself in a sparkling, clear pool with your friends. Or maybe you see yourself walking down white, sandy beaches.
It just seems like it takes forever for those days to get here. You do your best to keep your mind on your studies. But try as you might those daydreams of endless fun creep up in the back of your mind. Then they crawl right up behind your eyelids, and you’re floating away from your class and everyone in it.
Have you ever noticed how the older people are…the more they talk about how fast time goes by? When you’re young, those hot summer days seem to go on and on. But old people will tell you things like… “just wait kiddo, before you know it you’ll be my age, and you’ll wonder where the years all went”.
They seem so silly. Then one day…they’re right.
So…enjoy your hot summer days this summer. And don’t fret about what’s happening tomorrow. There’s enough in today to keep you busy all day.
The temperature is rising
On the weather dial outside.
So we should get the garden hose
And make a water slide.
Hot summer days feel cooler
When we swim down in the stream
And we run back home for dinner
And we find homemade ice cream.
As the evening sky grows darker
We go lie out on the grass,
And we hear the old folks talkin’
‘Bout how fast the years all pass.
Then we wonder why they worry.
Guess it must just be their ways.
We’ve still got our whole vacation
To enjoy hot summer days.
