Knees and toes

Summertime is almost gone

Can tell its been good by the knees and toes

Scrapes and nail polish chips

Giggles and grins
Hard to believe its coming to an end.

Staying up late

Sleeping in later

Bugbites and tanlines

Just a little bit longer.

Cocktails and bbqs

Squealing and laughing

Paper plates and plastic forks

Coolers and marshmallows.

Sitting by the fire

Family and friends by our side

Travels and visits

Make the summer worthwhile.

Its too soon for school shopping

Alarm clocks and buses

Lunch bags and backpacks

They can all wait.

State Fair is the last hurrah

Time to celebrate

The summer that was

The fall that will be

And the year that we will remember.

You can't take away summer

Each years a little better

The memories will stay in our minds

Even through snow and slush

We'll always have our knees and toes

To remind us of those summer days.
