From Sheila Brennan, Bombay Street, Blackburn.

Welcome summertime our old friend
Warmer days are here again
Summer, the time we love best
At any time of the day
Walking in the green fields
Where wild grey squirrels play
Hear birdsong in the early dawn
See a sparkling silver stream
Walk in a hazy bluebell wood
Sit on an old log and dream
Summertime comes, worth the wait
Go out and enjoy, don't hesitate.
