Today I wrote a letter to you
For you to read when you are blue
It talked of winter subbcumbing to spring
Clear skies and birds with bright blue wings

Of swimming pools on humid days
No paperwork or long essays
The only thing with any scare
Was the diving board: jump if you dare

The feel of grass under running feet
Through front yards down the quiet street
With concentration on every face
Reflects the hope to win the race

With the help of friends, it isn't hard
To raid each others' green backyards
Soldiers were recruited quick
To make wooden guns and swords of sticks

The only thing that tastes better homemade
Is a nice tall glass of lemonade
And the ice cream truck that drives around
Has every flavor of ice cream around.

And we're just kids in this letter of mine
Without the misleading High School shine
That wonderful summer with all our friends
In this beautiful letter I'll never send.
