Dear June

Dear June

Dear June, you are summer’s gateway,
The goodbye to storms, that first taste of searing heat,
As our assessment of you recalls family days,
Anniversaries of the deaths of loved ones, birthdays, a graduation,
First of a month to ponder again,
Where do we go after Spring’s end?
Smell the Gardenias, enjoy the tall zinnias,
Is not the sun brighter?
Discover a mystery writer.
Children to keep busy, and
For those so inclined, a traveling time,
Inspired by your magnificent moon.
Dear June.
