Poem – Good Bye Summer Holidays!

 Good Bye Summer Holidays!

Poem - Good Bye Summer Holidays!

 We’ll Miss You Summer holidays

 Dear Summer Holidays, You did not judge us

when we stayed in our pj’s all day

If we stayed up and watched movies until after midnight

If we ate lunch at 3pm and tea at 8.30pm it just did not matter

You allowed us to be spontaneous, drop everything and go for a picnic or go to the seaside just to go for a paddle

You were generous with the weather and gave us some lovely summer sun

You did not chastise us for going to bed late and sleeping in even later

You helped us spend quality family time together and enjoy each others company

You gave us the chance to create a scrapbook full of memories with all our adventures

You taught us how to relax and laugh together over even the smallest and silliest of things

You also allowed us to have our individual own time where we just got on with what we needed or wanted to do.

You kindly put on hold Ironing School uniform and making those pesky packed lunches, this I was grateful for

Even with the lows and the highs of the Pirate ship ride at Lightwater Valley, We forgive you

The biggest thing you allowed me to do was be more of a mum, a more relaxed, recharged and better version of me

Thanks Summer holidays, you have given us good times, great times and fantabulous times

Just don’t rush away so quickly next time!

    Love this poem – the summer is such a lovely time and I am always a little sad too when it ends. Sounds like you had a wonderful summer and what a lovely way to sum it up 🙂

    amazing poem,i admit i will miss the summer-but it has to be said that i LOVE winter,cosy nights in front of the fire,getting all togged up in winter clothes and if we’re lucky enough to get some-lots of crisp white snow 🙂 xx

    This is so true and is reassuring to me to discover that the holidays retain some of their magic even as they get older! #PoCoLo

    To cheer you up, here’s a little ditty about Autumn. xx

    Hello Autumn, you’re all golden and blowy
    at least you’re not Winter, all freezing and snowy.
    The sky is blue and the air is fresh
    sadly the kids are all at creche.
    The gorgeous summer may have seemed like a dream
    but never fear, it’s soon Halloween!
