The temperatures are rising and
the sun is beating down
on the earth in a warm
golden glow.
The leaves on the tallest trees
stretch to capture the light
and the wildflowers in the fields
flourish where they sway in the breeze.
The birds flit from tree to treetop,
singing their songs
and the squirrels leap from
branch to branch searching for acorns.
The children run in the yards
and dive into deep blue pools,
screeching happily from the
instant chill the water provides.
Summer is in full bloom
and everything is warm.
The golden rays of the sun
send light and joy where they land.
