“People walking by / As kids beam / At ice cream / On their bicycle rides”
The bright yellow sun
The tall grass
The big white clouds
The cold drinks
The fresh smell of flowers
The crash of small waves
The buzz of bees
The hot sand in the ocean breeze
The big trees
The birds flapping their wings
The fresh air
The clear blue sky
People walking by
As kids beam
At ice cream
On their bicycle rides
As the moon is bright during the night
And the bright yellow sun shines over it all
The tall grass
The big white clouds
The cold drinks
And the ice cream
These are the signs of summer.
