Summer days are warm, and wonderfully long. <br />Deep down, within my heart, I feel a joyful song. <br />Gone are winter days, with their dowdy browns; <br />The trees and flowers now wear coloured crowns. <br /> <br />The natural world displays its bounteous beauty. <br />The soft, summer breeze is fragrant and fruity. <br />Bees, butterflies, and other bugs, now take flight. <br />Days of summer, feel so very cheerful and bright. <br /> <br />The days of winter can be so deeply depressing, <br />But now, their true selves, plants are expressing. <br />Suddenly, the world feels like a much better place, <br />And the happy smiles are evident on many a face. <br /> <br />The world, all about us, is given a golden glow, <br />Which illuminates Mother Nature's vibrant show. <br />Following the winter months: all dull and dreary; <br />We're treated to a display that's much more cheery. <br /> <br />Winter woodlands appear so very bland and bare, <br />But, come the summer, they look fabulous and fair. <br />Shafts of sunlight shine down through the tall trees; <br />The leaf laden branches rustle in the summer breeze. <br /> <br />Some secretly wish that summer could last forever; <br />That, all year round, we could enjoy warm weather. <br />Once summer is here, you hate for it to have to end; <br />You warm to it, as you would, to your dearest friend.<br /><br />Angela Wybrow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-days-20/
