Summer Is

The sweltering heat, the sweat and grime covering your skin

The endless showers to wipe away the sweat and grime and

The endless amount of ice cream to take away the heat, and bring in the cold,

The thoughts of the coming fall and wishes for it to arrive soon, to bring in some cold,

The sound of kids splashing in the pool getting out for barbecues and picnics,

The endless nights starting with beautiful sunsets and sometimes consisting of breathtaking rainstorms,

The Fourth of July fireworks blasting in the sky, raining color onto the faces of those watching,

The feeling of happiness as you do nothing and everything.
