Just a Few More Days



Just a Few Days


Just a few days, that’s all there is left.
A few days of clear golden skies,


Of naked children in cool water,
Of sun-tanned skin and sun-kissed hair.


Just a few days linger before woolens replace sandals and bare feet,
Before leaves begin to fall,


Before the warm sun on the backs of our necks is a memory,
As we harvest summer’s bounteous pleasures,


Then bid them goodbye until next year.
