On luscious, rolling hills of green, br Fruit trees linger and loom just after spring br The young plant their roots in the soil of opportunities br Brittle hopes and dreams are left to grow br Up in the presence of others, all in unity br br Invincible teenagers explore the depth of their souls br Opportunities are bountiful, and there is no need to console br Their confidence is tangible, letting go of all values and morals br The liquid gold rays of the sun penetrate through reality br Letting them be courageous and dauntless, without time to quarrel br br The secrets of summer are sealed in the ripe fruit of a peach tree br The juicy gossip running down a child’s chin, as they feel the glee br Of the thick, intoxicating juice, wanting more br The warm, gentle breath of the wind tickles their ears as br The summer of a life time makes their spirits soarbr br Ann Pattinsonbr br
