June

“How did it get so late so soon? 
Its night before its afternoon. 
December is here before its June. 
My goodness how the time has flewn. 
How did it get so late so soon?”

~  Dr. Seuss

Can you believe it?
June is here and 2014 is nearly half way over!

When I think of June, I think of summer.
When I think of summer, I think of grilling out.
Burgers and corn on the cob, anyone?

JUNE
~by Francis Duggan

It's beautiful, the summer month of June
When all of God's own wildflowers are in bloom

And sun shines brightly most part of the day

And butterflies o'er lush green meadows play.

Lighthearted skylark songster of the wing

High o'er the quiet and lonely moorland sing
 

source

Above her nest cloaked by the tangled heath

Her charming song so exquisitely sweet.

So mellow the gentle breath of June day breeze

The birds rejoicing on the leafy trees

And dappled trout in pool bed of the stream

Bask in the sun their spotted skins agleam.

God gave us June and all her lovely flowers

Bright sunny days and pleasant evening hours

Shady green glens and serene sunlit dells

And leafy bowers adorned with blue bluebells.

But God, June's maker has the final say

And what He gives, He also takes away

And God's own larks will trumpet in the sky

To celebrate the birthday of July.

I hope you have a fabulous first day of June!
