That Was Summer
Have you ever smelled summer?
Sure you have.

Remember that time
When you went swimming at the pool
And you smelled the chlorine
And feeling cold when you first got in?
Remember when you dived in the pool
That was summer.

Remember that time
When you were kayaking at the beach
And when you held on the back
And the oars almost hit you?
Remember jumping off the kayak for fun?
That was summer.

Remember that time
When you ate ice cream in the hot sun
And it almost melted
Remember when your friend’s ice cream
Melted into the cone?
That was summer.

Remember that time
When you had a barbecue
And when you could smell the sizzling steak
Remember the smell of the steak
And you felt hungry?
That was summer.

Remember that time
When the sun was shining brightly
And when it beamed through the window
And you played tag with your friends?
Remember when you tripped on twig
That was summer.

Remember that time
When you went ice skating
And you threw ice at your family and friends
And they started chasing you
That was summer.

Remember that time
When when you walked the dog
And you felt so hot and tired
And the dog was sweating
And she was poking her tongue out?
That was summer.

Remember that time
When you went rock climbing
And when you climbed to the top
And you gently dropped down to the ground
All the way from the top
That was summer.
