Children Enjoying Summer

Children in the summer 

Love to laugh and play, 

Making the most

Of each bright summer day, 

Enjoying the bliss

Of a warm day in June, 

Happily playing

And singing a tune, 

Laughing with abandon 

In the freedom of July, 

With red, rosy cheeks 

And a sparkle in the eye, 

Whirling and twirling

In a flash of legs and arms, 

Singing and dancing, 

Displaying all their charms, 

Sailing through summer, 

Faces happy and bright, 

Expressing their enjoyment 

With squeals of delight.
