~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May is a flower opening in the grass. May is a golden smile that warms you as you pass. May is the kiss of the sun on bare arms. Welcome to May and her radiant charms! Later, there will be wilting heat, In winter there may be icy sleet; Or, there will be chilling rain, Occasionally in some months, there will be pain. But, just in this gentle moment, Basking in this blessing sent, Let us raise our voices today, And give thanks for joyous May!

Dear Sara, This wonderful poem is a jubilant ode to May and everything that it represents, from the splendor of nature to the happiness it gives. underlining its attractiveness, friendliness, and charisma. It alludes to the ebb and flow of seasons and the transient character of happiness as well. The poem beautifully captures the essence of May via its rich picture and detailed language. Pleasant and upbeat words like "flower opening," "golden smile," and "radiant charms" evoke a feeling of well-being and delight.
