Summer so soft and true <br />Comes through the soil to you, <br />With love on every side, <br />Bright sunset mornings abide; <br />All beautiful to become, <br />In every new growing bloom, <br />For winter's seed didn't die, <br />Now grow from small to high. <br /> <br />All with its love conceives <br />What growth of life believes, <br />Strong as the virgin spring, <br />Into the summer is lasting; <br />There for our eyes to see <br />With hope and peace to be, <br />Everything, flowering freedom, <br />Maturing up with optimism. <br /> <br />Summer's kiss and stroking, <br />Breath of newborn evoking; <br />Springtime excitement and thrill, <br />May it our brightness fulfil.<br /><br />Peter S.
