Happy June!!
Come, let’s just sit a bit my dear, and watch the garden
grow
For soon its bloom will disappear beneath a sheath of
snow
Come, let’s recline and watch the vine climb sunshine’s
golden gate
In tints of mint and lime, let’s watch spring’s Paean
celebrate
Come, let’s just sit a bit and leave those to-do lists
alone
For even now Time’s grit and grin carves Beauty to the
bone
And soon high noon of June wears hints of first green’s
lullaby
The flower of the hour fades, June traded for July
Come, let’s just sit a bit and sip the wine of pure
sunshine
Let’s let the lilt of leaf-song stir in us rapture divine
For from the barren limb the bud bursts into hymns of
praise
And thrills our hearts with wonder at the art that fills
man’s gaze
Come, let’s just sit a bit, my friend, for Time began its
toll
In a garden, where we still feel God nearer to the soul
...and here In The Beginning of another year of bloom
The garden feels a little like Heaven’s grand waiting
room
So, let’s just sit a bit and revel in the rush of Time
Let’s watch the world as it unfurls in swirls of mint and
lime
Come, let’s recline and watch the vine before its brittle
stem
Is all that remains of spring-summer’s unchained diadem
