Sandy beach scene with sunglasses and 'summer' spelled in letter tiles, capturing vacation vibes.

Rick’s Granddaughter – Paul Dennis Jr

I never thought I’d miss the food that they’d try to serve me at my middle school;

Tell me why I’d trade my sustenance for swimming pools.

Now the solstice is here and it’d be an understatement if i said it wasn’t cool,

I guess I owe the shade you’ve thrown some gratitude.

What if I said I’m missing you?

What if I said my days alone are extra cruel?

What if I didn’t mind all of the stupid rules?

Why would I trade away the prepubescent fools and desks with drawings and with drool, if that would mean I’d do three months with no more you?

I put my friends on pedestals;

They carried me through seasons man, they’re like my mules

You’re like my muse…

But summer break might leave you feeling too confused.

I know my absences during these heated months are not excused

That’s why I always worry if it’s you I’ll lose..

The weather is changing, I’m ’bout to lose my crew

And lose you too,

And lose you to a circumstance that – when I think about it – really isn’t new.

It’s not like I can just refuse to let the planets go and do what planets do.

This summer approaches but I fear I lack the tools –

Just know I’d trade the world for you.
