School holidays will shortly be over

Our remaining weeks transformed into days.

We experienced fun, so well remembered.

Memory of a youthful summer haze

 

We rode carefree, those paths and byways

Without thought of discomfort or malaise

Ambled through a certain chilled conviction

Warmed only by that youthful summer haze

 

We swam, shivering, in shimmering pools.

Surfed without confidence in beach-high waves 

Lay restfully on the warmed golden sand 

Bronzing those tans in youthful summer haze

 

It is with sadness that we reminisce.

Unbridled energy, vigorous ways 

Aged, we glimpse from a far distant shore

And ponder the loss of our youthful haze
