June 2021

Proms and graduations are over Eighteen-year-olds are planning their lives Forty years ago they would be getting married But this is not then, and they are in no rush June prettiness of the olden days has turned into muggy August It is ninety-degrees here, and we are still in school. Hey wait! Don’t we get out in May? Always before. Not this year. Thanks heaps, pandemic. Two months until eighteen-year-olds head to college Most are not heading to the service like fifty years ago They are heading to the beaches, and to summer jobs Slinging food, cleaning houses, customer service June is the month of new beginnings. A month of possibilities, A month to consider choices. Enjoy it. July will be here soon!
