August memories will always linger in my heart
With the first kiss of summer's embrace to start
Brought hotter summer days and cooler nights
We shed our rigid persona and free, took flight
The heat cooled off by the welcome thunder rain
Wild flowers and green meadows refreshed again
Cooing birds and Crickets orchestrated the night
The plein air was pungent fresh to our delight
The last rose of summer on a white picket fence
A Nantucket cottage we stayed a week for rent
The aroma of the imperial sea lingers ever long
As it washes ashore with its roaring ancient song
Colorful sea glass sprinkled on the sandy shore
Building sand castles, foreign lands to explore
To live in the sunshine, swim away into the sea
Drink in the wild dulcet air renew you and me
Sitting under the umbrella with a book I agree
Savor the lucent images of Nirvana sets us free
August has passed yet summer wants to linger on
Between the pages of the next month they prolong
Sweeter dreams and treasured memories keeping
We bid farewell to August's golden days seeking
Oh! Happy Day! the happiest chapter of the year
With new postcard memories treasured my dear
Yet, another beautiful day, it's summer's last call
Interjects it golden heritage into the start of fall
