My Summer Aspirations by Scott Lentine Reaching out, making connections Looking for friends and new directions Exploring new places and meeting people Moving forward and looking for life's next sequel Beautiful beach weather with waves crashing on the shore Allows me to connect with nature My senses feel alive to the core And I relate to life's basic force Crowded beaches with people everywhere Dogs of all shapes and sizes Makes me feel like part of the affair And I am happy and my spirit rises Celebrating the vacation with family and friends Seeing new and old acquaintances Helps me reconnect and feel alive And enables my mind to thrive Summer is a great time of year A bright new beginning in life is here My plan is to make the most of this season And let the meaning of my life deepen
