June Precious June

June, precious June,
                prettiest girl in the room.
                You`re the bride of the wedding
                in lilac perfume.
                The scent of a rose
                a child`s drink from the hose,
                a firefly sprinkle
                as day comes to close.
                You`re the belle of the ball, 
                the ground robin`s call,             
                the green leaf of maple
                that knows not of Fall.
                A hummingbird`s visit
                that vague deja vu,
                morning dew on the meadow
                that`s gone before noon.
                So June, precious June,
                must leave us so soon?
                Won`t you stay for the summer,
                like the Peony`s bloom?
