Memories of Summer

Awaken at dawn to a chorus of birds Warm sunlight on my pillow Cumulus clouds in a cerulean sky Fields of golden wheat below The buzzing of a honey bee As it passes by unseen The distant sound of a cricket game Being played on the village green A graceful flight of swallows Soaring high above the trees The fragrant scent of lavender Carried by a summer breeze A picnic with my loved one Eating strawberries in the sun The peaceful sound of a blackbird singing When the day is done All these fond memories of summer Seem to help me in a way When the weather’s cold outside On a frosty winter’s day.
