The summer sun hugs the earth,
As its rays kiss the morning sky,
An exhale of warmth fills the air,
And welcomes the day with a sigh.

Gentle waves of green whisper hello,
Calling out to the dancing flowers,
Sweet perfume paints the breeze,
Lingering fragrance lasting for hours.

A brand new day God creates
A season for rejoicing in wonder,
The magnificent memories in my heart,
The joys only found in summer.
