I care not to let these last days of August go
Those sweet lingering memories I know
Let’s re-capture her brilliant sunshine
Spontaneity and child-like laughter so fine
Carefree days with longer mellifluous nights
Time to revere and enjoy the halcyon sights
Sitting on a blanket listening to a park concert
The birds sing along and fountain plays a song
Leisurely languid days enjoying playful pursuits
Returning to friends, family rediscovering our roots
Canoeing like pilgrim explorers on a mirror lake
Not a worry, not a care we’re having a break
Apple pie scents waft through the beach air
We’ve come from a swim without a care
Laughing like children we gave up our reserve
To the magic of summer’s frolic we did serve
Our energy bursting we’re once again young, we’re gay
We antiqued and read books by the light of the day
By night the stars came out like diamonds in the sky
So I ask you now. Why must summer end, why?
