Visions of Summer

The hot air that makes lemonade taste so sweet

and a cooling dip in the pool is such a glorious treat

days become longer and nights become hotter

sipping on sweet tea in the sparkling Carolina water

skin gets darker and hair becomes lighter

and the sun shines brighter

sounds of laughter and a happy little squeal

come from a kid playing in the water the color of brilliant teal

when you meet a summer love with hopes of making it last

and wondering how you made it without them in the past

i met my love during the sweet air of summer

and we're still together with a love so hot it simmers

without this man summer would be dull even with a sun shining bright

I will never let him go and hold him tight
