Summers of Our Youth We hoped summer would never end those long hot summer days warm summer nights swimming, fishing, camping tales around the campfire We'd lie under a shade tree watch the clouds form castles, dragons, lions pretending we were knights or fair maidens We'd ride our bicycles sweat and laugh When we were hot We'd go down to the swimming hole cool off and ride some more Warm summer nights were for campfires telling scary tales We'd watch the woods The shadows, then a falling star A time for first loves, when summers had came and went, in our teen years We would learn of girls & boys A time for first kisses We'd walk side by side watching the stars & the full moon They'd light up our path Our shadows were long We stopped, laughing and kissing We knew we always had our summer (c) Dale Clark

I feel a longing reading this, as if it were my own youth which I only briefly had (outdoors) thanks to kidney disease. You express feeling and memories lost to so many more jaded poets. Thanks I'll be reading, but if I'm gonna get any work done today...

This brought back so many fond memories, dear friend. I wished then that summer would never end because I was rarely ever ready for school year to begin. Excellent work.

Ah, and what great summers we had in our youth! From youthful innocence, imagination and games to excitement, mystery, mischief and romance. The days of our youth seemed to have passed all to quickly, but they gave us wonderful memories to cherish. Your poem has brought back many memories and fun times that seem to have been a life time ago in one sense..and only days ago in another. Well written, one that most everyone can relate to. Enjoyed! Glad I stopped by.
Blessings,
Joyce B.
