Come Again Soon
By
Mollie Lyon
I have this feeling I
can't explain
A feeling I can put no
name.
I think of summers
past.
I see beauty that
cannot last.
Playing and free.
My mother took care of
me.
Dad, too, for the fun.
He loved the sun.
The beach, the yard,
the lake
A picnic with Kentucky
fried and cake.
Summer, summer, summer
Why do you have to
end?
Visions of the shore
I want more.
Homesick
Sad
Names I could use.
The stories from this
muse.
Of summer change.
Of summer growth.
Mom loved September.
I do now, too,
But not as kid.
School,
Putting on shoes.
Buying sweaters and
jeans
The year I entered my
teens.
Life changes fast.
Seasons mark the time
A childhood doesn't
last.
And I repose on
children mine
And their childhood is
over, too.
Maybe the name should
be Blue.
But I carry on
For summertime will
soon come around.
The next year better
I plan for fun.
