MAY MORNINGS

"May is the month of expectation, the month of wishes, the month of hope." - Emily Brontë

For the love of May, the month of expectation,  
I walk through mornings bright with new creation;  
a hush of promise drifts along my way.

For the love of May, the month of wishes rising,  
each blossom opens like a dream surprising;  
a hush of promise drifts along my way.

For the love of May, the month of hope made tender,  
I feel the world lean softly toward it’s splendor;  
a hush of promise drifts along my way.
