I Long For a Warm June Day
I long to return to a warm June day,
Feeling the glow of sun on my face,
Watching clouds across the sky race.
I don’t know why I feel this way
But I’ve always loved the summer
For me, cold weather is a bummer.
Seems warmth holds my arthritis at bay
Less ailments, less pain, feeling good --
Of course, like a man of my age should.
Of all the months, June is my mainstay
Watching newborn life come to bloom
No more a prisoner in a drafty room.
I come alive in the beauty of after-May
Feel the sun on my face at high noon,
Actually, it cannot come too soon.
I long to return to a warm June day
I don’t know why I feel this way,
Seems warmth holds my arthritis at bay
Of all the months June is my mainstay,
I come alive in the beauty of after-May!
