National Poetry Day Freedom Poem by Bernard Young

Summer
 
 
 
You’ve finished playing football
 
You’re lying on the grass
 
Thinking about the goal you scored
 
Reliving that brilliant pass
 
 
 
Summer is the future
 
School is in the past
 
This is a perfect moment
 
If only it would last
 
 
 
Just you and your mates relaxing
 
In the heat after the game
 
Everyone’s a winner
 
You all feel the same
 
 
 
Summer is the future
 
School is in the past
 
This is a perfect moment
 
If only it could last
