The Song of Summer

The intense sun rays warm the earth

As the breeze trys it's best to add coolness

This is the song of summer...

The aspen trees shiver

The pine trees whisper

As the birds twitter

This is the song of summer...

The soft breeze carries fragrances through the air,

Intertwined with...

The blossoming buds of beautiful flowers,

Of freshly cut grass,

Of dew from morning mist,

And the sap of majestic trees.

Making a blend of God's perfume

This is the song of summer...

The majestic mountains stand arrayed in colors of purple, blue, and green...

and every shade in between...

The clouds sheltering the mountains above,

Floating serenely across the azure sky,

Creating picturette water colors ~ pleasing to the eye

This is the song of summer...

Oh, to feel the warmth of the summer breeze

To touch velvety petals

To feel the grass beneath your feet

Oh, the songs of summer are so sweet!

Summer, summer, sing your song

As I bask in your beauty

As you sing of His majesty

Be jubilant and rejoice

Sing of His splendor

Oh, heavens declare His glory

Sing to the LORD all the earth!

This is the song of summer...
