Playing football with friends in the fading light, 

sweating and laughing on a warm summer night.  

The sky glows orange as the sun goes low, 

 and everything feels gentle and slow.  

The grill starts smoking and dinner’s near, 

hot dogs, burgers, the smells are so clear.  

Stars come out and the fire burns bright,  

our voices floating into the night.  

Then a jump in the pool to cool off fast, 

 hoping the feeling could somehow last.  

A memory held close, simple and right, 

my favorite warm summer night.
