Summer Time Poem by Ellen Ni Bheachain

Summertime with all that shines,
The sun, its warmth and long bright nights,
People gather to meet and be,
Together in families and friendships of gatherings,

Children get to play and be,
Children growing building happy memories,
Of those they meet on their long Summer breaks,
Building friendships and memories to build on from there,

Summertime shows all nature in its bloom,
The trees, flowers and river streams,
Flourishing woods and nature trails,
The seaside views and oceans blues,
For all to gather and have lots of fun,

When Summer arrives so does many a smile,
People seem happier and the elders get out more,
Parents and children fill the parks,
It is a time for festivals and musical gatherings,

Summertime is what many will say,
A time to break and get away,
Where all year round we work, rest and play,
Summertime though,
We take a little more time,
To rest and play.
