Elegy to summer vacation

As time goes by my smile turns into frown

Just like how the green grass turns into brown

The leaves on trees start falling to the ground

and my heart feels as if it were unsound

Goodbye to times we ran around to play

Hello to school and studying all day

Goodbye to things that were so loving

Hello to work and all the suffering

To me you were the greatest gift of all

You have helped me enjoy life, after all
The moments of summer are rich as gold
the joyous moments that never get old

But as the summer slowly comes to end
I know in my heart this is not the end
However long another year may seem
There is another summer we can dream
