    About this ebook

    Blue skies of August bring to mind,
    carefree days of my childhood past.
    Memories I had almost lost to time.
    Blue skies of August bring them back at last.
    Gone are the days when I played till dark,
    and sometimes ran through the woods at night.
    Not a worry in the world as if I were in a park.
    Blue skies of August seemed very bright.

    Staying out late, watching the meter shower,
    and all the bright stars of the Milky Way.
    I would stay there and count by the hour,
    the falling stars, until the break of day.
    Even though it may be muggy and hot,
    we would gather for a game of baseball.
    I loved playing in that old vacant lot.
    On rainy days we may visit the billiard hall.

    We could always find a place to swim,
    Old strip mine pits were nice and cool.
    We never had or knew about a gym.
    Only Mom would let me dig a pool.
    August is very special month for me,
    I get a little older this time every year.
    Blue skies of August don’t you agree,
    bring back memories and maybe a tear.
