The seasons changed from spring to summer
During a festivity of gift-giving and family drama.
It was a typical Australian Christmas,
Full of temperamental weather and no sun in sight.
Who decided on such a gloomy season
That was supposed to be full of joy and no plight?
I expected a summer of grandeur under the sun
And beach races to the seashore.
But I’m left with the disappointment of sitting at home
Under a sunless sky and isolated from friends.
The summer rain washed away the expectation of the summer I had before. But that’s okay. I don’t want to be living in the past. And there’s still time to make the most of my remaining summer.
