That was Summer

Have you heard summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when you were told the saftey tips on how to windsurf?

or butterfly rescuing out to where the water is deeper

and you were exhausted

and you were frightened of falling in the water?

Remember when you tipped the board and fell in the water?

That was summer.

Have you ever touched summer ?

Sure you have.

Remember when you first entered the rock climbing cave.

or tightening your harness

and you were uncomfortable

and when you touched the top to the climbing wall?

Remember pushing off the wall back onto the ground?

That was summer.   

Have you tasted summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when you had a basket of chocolate eggs that you just found?

or opening up the wrapper of the first one

and taking your first bite

and looking at your basket and having only 1 more left?

Remember trying to save the last one for just a little bit longer?

That was summer.

Have you smelled summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when you were preparing to design a t-shirt   

or cutting your design out to make a stencil

and getting your t-shirt you wanted

and asking an adult to print you design on to your t - shirt?

Remember the smell of the special paint?

That was summer.

Have you touched summer?

Sure you have

Remember opening up a book to the first page

or feeling the soft cover

and flipping the rough pages

and making it to the next chapter?

Remember running your finger across the page as you read?

That was summer.
