Summer

The warming of summer

brings new strength to all things,

whether plant

or body

we thrive.

Life itself reaches toward the sun

to capture its rays

in ways that bring

a natural growth.

A growth that benefits all

through the nourishing

of our minds

and bodies.

We take the time now to play

in ways that form bonds

with others

of like desires

and interests.

Summer is not only for the young,

but also for those who are young of heart.
