SUMMER WISHES I wish for summer s sunny days To come and visit me, So I can play in meadows green Or splash in the cool blue sea. I wish for candy floss white clouds To drift across the sky, So I can play at guessing shapes As they slowly sail on by. I wish for sizzling barbeques, For delicious finger food; For burger baps and hotdog rolls, When everything tastes so good. I wish for all my friends to play Together in the sun; To run, to hide, to chase, to jump, To always have great fun.
