Under the old shade tree
In places where the sun peeks through
The morning dew shines
It sparkles like diamonds
Scattered on a green carpet

Midsummer evening
Enjoying a walk with friends
Full moon shining down

Glorious sunset
Sky in brilliant colors
Day’s perfect climax

June, it seems you just arrived,
Yet your 18 days are nearly gone,
only 12 more remain to be seen,
and then never more shall you dawn.
You’ve given me memories to cherish,
Adventures and surprises galore,
June, I will enjoy your daily presence,
Until you, or I, are no more.

There’s power in a smile
To chase a frown away.
It will uplift a gloomy spirit,
And cheer up someone’s day!
We all have one we can use,
So let’s put it on for those we meet.
It costs nothing to wear,
And it’s beauty can’t be beat!

Sitting on my deck
Enjoying the view,
of clouds so white and fluffy
and skies of brilliant blue.
Things seem so peaceful,
As far as eye can see,
Until a little spider,
Decides to visit me!

June’s fourth is calling me to “Come!
Visit before this day is done,
See the beauty created for you,
Smell the flowers, enjoy the sun.”
Yet, indoor tasks are pressing me
To focus on the mundane.
What shall I do? A choice is due,
For this June day will not come again.
