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.
