Summer Girl

Blooming lilies

Dragonflies pink and yellow

Petunias dancing

Green leaves soft and mellow

Hidden behind the sun soaked tree

I see the summer girl looking back at me

Overgrown weeds

Along the shimmering pond

She jumps with a dash

A graceful mermaid

She sings a captivating song

Hidden behind the sun soaked tree

I see the summer girl looking back at me

Wearing a blue dress

Black hair with beautiful curls

Elegant as a dove is she

With eyes wide open,

Gazing at the birds flying so free

Hidden behind the sun soaked tree

I see the summer girl looking back at me

The small girl

She used to be

Free and adventurous as a honey bee

Hopping and skipping here and there

A beautiful girl

With a complexion so fair

Years pass by

Once again I go to the old tree

I still see her there

Smiling back at me

She reminds me of who I used to be

A summer girl

Smiling from behind the sun soaked tree.
