Summer time

When the days are long

It’s light when we wake up

It’s light long after dinner is done

When we can sit in the garden and read

Or enjoy a cup of tea

When the birds are happy

And let us know with their songs

When the grass is green

And flower pots are out again in the back yard

Summer time

When I can wear dresses every day

When it doesn’t take ten minutes to prepare

To get out of the house

When morning walks are pleasant

And neighbours can stand outside and chat for a while

Summer time

The time to travel

To broaden one’s horizon

To meet friends who come from abroad

Summer time

Crabapples on the tree

Mint in the garden

And raspberry time

Summer time is relaxation time
