Longing for the sun

No matter the day
All remains grey
Gloom covers everyone
From morning's first light
To commencement of night
We're longing for the sun

Work through the grind
The duties that bind
Shame there's an absence of fun
Until we escape at the end
Hoping to greet our friend
But we're longing for the sun

To walk on the beach
Have the waves lap your toes
Put factor thirty
On your blistering nose
Go out in just shirt sleeves
Or the tiniest dress
And never end up
A goose pimpled mess
To bask in the heat
As it pours down on you
To look up to see sky
Of glorious blue
Watch flowers bloom
Not pelted by rain
Please, please, can you
Wipe away all this pain

As August looms near
Can't help shed a tear
Summer's course is almost run
And is there anything worse
Than writing a verse
Longing for the sun
