summer was here

hose undone
sprinkler on
water falling
front yard lawn
children laughing
soaking wet
school year has not
started yet

watermelon
nectarines
working in
your farmer jeans
lemonade cool
when weather's hot
cold iced coffee
hits the spot

air-conditioned
picture show
surf songs
on the radio
mornings staying 
late in bed
big sun roasting
overhead

one day soon
it's gonna end
and it's gonna get cold
and cloudy again
but memories
don't disappear
they're living proof
that summer was here
