That was summer by Sarah

That was summer

Have you ever heard summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when we would play Cricket

and you would hit the ball on the roof.

Remember the crunch of watermelon and

getting angry every now and then

when we had to spit out the pips.

That was summer.

Have you ever smelled summer?

Sure you have.

Remember going to the the flower garden and smelling the flowers.

Remember when we would go to

Nanas house and we would smell chocolate cake.

That was summer.

Have you ever seen summer?

Sure you have.

Remember eyeing the icecream truck

and begging mum for ice cream.

And remember when we made the best sandcastles

and the the waves would dissolve them within seconds.

That was summer.

Have you ever felt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when we would have water fights

and I would push you in the freezing cold water.

Remember going to the pools and you were forced to put the slimey yucky sunscreen on and would gag at the smell.

That was summer.
