Delightful Summer

Delightful Summer, how I welcome thee With the sun shining high above my head, It's vacation time, children are now free To enjoy the beach, or be ice-cream fed; Sweat pours down as I tend to my garden, Or saunter in silence amid the trees, I like this warmth, when the ground does harden, And there is a hint of the gentlest breeze; Oh Summer! To see flow'rs bloom in the sun, Or to go fishing in the gurgling stream Satisfies my soul, when the day is done - You're like the fragment of a lovely dream; Closer to my Creator I am drawn In summertime, in the sunny bright dawn.

I love summer too, but it's been hell on earth for many. Revelation 11:18 is pending. Humans will not be allowed to destroy God's handiwork. Sweet, breezy sonnet
