It’s summer
That’s when we go to the lakeshore
With the view I adore
Shimmering water
Sunshine
And no care for time
Punched that clock
But instead of spending dimes
Came to the lake
To let my mind unwind
Let my body be cooled
And feel rejuvenated
Should I go?
It should not be debated
Why would I have even hesitated?
I know my friend is here
Waiting
Whether people are sitting on their bench or not
I’m hot
And the water is tempting
I know it is refreshing
I jump in
And join all the others
My local friends
Sisters and brothers
And a few tourists
Who have found our secret spot of rest
Please come
Be our guest
No need to wait for a special request
The park is open
And the lake
It’s the best
For summer’s season is ending
A new school year is beginning
But the lake keeps calling
Until I hear from my friend
Who’s always here
The lakes too cold now
No more swimming this year
I’ll see you again
Fall is set to begin
And
Next summer is just around the bend
