In the park June greets us with her roses.
Their beautiful colors and sweet scents give us Hope and Peace.
It is now time for brides to prepare for their wedding day
and school children and adults to make vacation plans.
In the neighborhoods, blossoming flowers abound in the yards.
Corn grows tall in the fields.
Trees’ green leaves provide shade from the sun’s rays.
And, birds wash their feathers in the birdbaths.
How Blessed we are to see
and receive all June’s gifts.
