Life's Spring

When the leaves grow thick,

and green.  The smell of flowers

the feeling of peace

The feel of cold lake water

on my skin.  The sun in

my face.  Life is good.

Summer is the day, the reason,

everyone loves summer its anticipated

like hot chocolate on a cold day.

it's thought about like the girl you love.

it's phat like a sixty-nine Camaro 

it's exciting like the feeling you

get from falling in love

summer.
