How joyful and dreamy he was, coming bearing fragrant breezes, and laughing from the heart, and dying until dawn, gathering the distant and bringing back the expatriate, and restoring the stress of work and study.

A golden opportunity to move between the imagination of perplexing stories to the last line, a great occasion for celebrations and weddings, a certain date with the sea and its sands, and the longing for the songs and feelings associated with it, and engraved inside us an inscription of beautiful pain.

It colors our days with the colors of its bright sun during the day, showers us with its fresh air in the evening, and spreads its fragrance at the end of the night for a restful sleep.

He opens doors and windows after a long winter, opening hearts with them to hope, communication and love among all.

It allows boys and young adults to work, to make the lute become stronger and stronger, and it opens up the world of femininity for girls, learning the arts of cooking, arranging the house, and welcoming guests.

Such was the summer, before we adapted its weather, set its time, interfered with its fruits, and rejected its precious gifts of sun and air that heal bodies and treat depression.

Summer used to be a new age every year, and neighbors and friends knew how to create pleasure out of simple things.

Now, time has changed, the seasons shape, and the way time is arranged. Yes, it has many advantages, and many options, but the most important thing is to keep everything that nourishes the mind, restores the emptiness of the soul and the weakness of the body, and takes a break from the shell of illusory communication.

Summer, with its sun, the salinity of its sea, and its fresh air, is the best cure for us and our children from many ailments and aches, and it has plenty of room and space for reading and nourishing the mind.

The summer with its extended day is an opportunity to encourage young people and adolescents to test the labor market, start gaining experiences, how to deal with life, and set the first precedent for their work in their CV.

Summer, although different from what went before for the generations of the nineties and before, but the love and friendship remain bright between family, neighbors and friends, and it can be connected as long as we have time.

Here in the UAE, there are many great opportunities for young men and women to practice sports, read, and work during the holidays. The age allowed to work has been reduced with the consent of the guardian, sports centers and clubs are free for all without discrimination, and reading libraries are replete with anecdotes of books, mothers and hadiths, which are spread near us, and allow Free borrowing of up to three weeks for 15 books.

It remains for families to encourage their children, and attract them to a useful and real summer, away from their virtual world, and take the initiative before them, and let us all make it a different summer.

Summer, with its sun, the salinity of its sea, and its fresh air, is the best remedy for us and our children from many ailments and aches.
