Ralph Taylor Poet Rhyme

Searching For Summer

As I look out from my porch chair,
on a lovely summer day,
the beauty is so splendid,
I speak to God and say!

I observe the lovely plants and trees,
the cornfields and the wheat.
I feel Your presence everywhere,
in the summers healing heat!

You bring sunshine to the summer,
You make the sky, a lovely blue!
You make the lilacs and the roses bloom,
the marigolds and orchids, too!

I marvel at the wonders,
and the beauty nature brings.
The priceless and the precious gifts,
and other, ordinary things!

The mountains vast and high.
The oceans deep and blue!
The magic flow of the streams and hills,
all the beasts and critters, too!

I enjoy my summer seasons,
and my favorite things to do!
I love baseball, golf and swimming,
just to name a few!

That's my Search for Summer!
It's the season I like best!
I have a lot more pleasure, then,
than I do in all the rest!

Hidden Sister March 21, 2013 at 12:56 AM This was the best summer praise poem! Truly a pleasure to read. Jen

Roy Jerden March 20, 2013 at 10:39 PM Maybe this? The priceless and the precious gifts, and ordinary things! Thought of it just now and wanted to share.

Roy Jerden March 20, 2013 at 7:53 PM Wow! I really like this a lot, Ralph! Very nice rhyme and meter (except in one line). If you can find a two or three syllable replacement for "taken for granted", the meter would be perfect. "routine, mundane, daily, regular" might be possibilities. Normally, I don't intrude, but the meter is just so perfect otherwise. Hope you're not offended. Cheers, Roy Hidden Sister March 21, 2013 at 12:55 AM Roy your welcome to help me anytime, my skin is thick! Jen Ralph Taylor March 20, 2013 at 9:35 PM A million thanks Roy. I welcome constructive critisim, anytime. I made the change you suggested, using "mundane"! I'm not the slightest bit offended and appreciate your help, my friend. Thanks again for your help and comment. All the best, Ralph
