ADIEU to AUGUST 2020

 

Don't tet these halcyon days of summer go

Those sweet lingering memories I know

Let's re-capture her brilliant sunshine

Spontaneity, child-like laughter so fine

Carefree days with mellifluous nights

Time to enjoy each wonderful sight

Leisurely languid days and playful pursuits

Returning to family, re-discovering our roots

Dreaming of canoeing on a mirror lake

Not a worry nor care we're having a break

Apple pie scents wafted through the beach air

Remember we came from a swim without a care

Laughing with joy we gave up our reserve

To the magic of summer's frolic we did serve

Our energy bursting we were young and gay

We read travel books by the light of the day

By night the stars came out like diamonds in the sky

So I ask you, WHY MUST SUMMER END, WHY?

ADIEU!!! Goodbye to August (c) By Polly Guerin

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?
