That Was Summer by Danielle.

Have you ever smelt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when we went down to the beach and the fish’n’chips were overpowering the salt in the sea.

And when we walked into the kitchen after a long day of playing outside and all we could smell was delicious roasted food.

That was summer.

Have you ever tasted summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when it was time to have a BBQ and you could not wait to dig into the perfectly cooked food that was roasted on the hot flaming BBQ.

And as we’d drink fizzy, sparkling bubbles would go up our nose.

That was summer.

Have you ever seen summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when it was Christmas and there was a mountain of food on the table.

And walking down the street and there was a forest of red all around from the Pohutukawa trees.

That was summer.

Have you ever felt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you were lying on the beach on a windy day and every now and then you would get a refreshing mist of salt water land on your body.

And how we would look silly because it looked like we were dancing, but actually our feet were burning because of the sand.

That was summer.
