Awaken at dawn to a chorus of birds <br />Warm sunlight on my pillow <br />Cumulus clouds in a cerulean sky <br />Fields of golden wheat below <br /> <br />The buzzing of a honey bee <br />As it passes by unseen <br />The distant sound of a cricket game <br />Being played on the village green <br /> <br />A graceful flight of swallows <br />Soaring high above the trees <br />The fragrant scent of lavender <br />Carried by a summer breeze <br /> <br />A picnic with my loved one <br />Eating strawberries in the sun <br />The peaceful sound of a blackbird singing <br />When the day is done <br /> <br />All these fond memories of summer <br />Seem to help me in a way <br />When the weather’s cold outside <br />On a frosty winter’s day.<br /><br />Paul Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/memories-of-summer/
