Freshly mowed grass

Crystal clear pool

Heat constantly rising

Family and friends reunite with joy

The deck is filled with laughs and empty pop cans

Hotdogs and burgers fill the sizzling grill

Dads bicker over whose kid is the better pitcher

Debates settled over a game of bags

Moms gossip about the latest divorce in town

Sipping on their Diet Coke

Grandmas fill the kitchen with delicous treats

Everyone rushes to sneak a piece

Kids filled with excitement and relief

“School’s finally over ” they gleam

While munching on treats they think

About all the good summer has to bring

Just wait until they see

The amount of days, weeks, wasted

Leaving their bucket list left unmarked

Soon while sitting in a desk they’ll regret`

All the useless days they spent
