Summer Is Here
Covid be gone
summer is here
I've more important
things to do
and now, no fear
just listen
hear the winds howl,
gust and blow
hot air above one hundred
sweltering and sultry beyond
words
Covid be gone
it's too beautiful to be pallid
the waves crash
whitecaps on an evergreen
sea
so just leave me be
palm trees wave
but never sway
their trunks stand tall,
even in a squall
or hurricane come this fall
flowers are bright
as the bee's light
hear the bird song
the frogs' croak
nature, so full of hope
Covid be gone
it's time you departed
for regions unknown
health and happiness
God's promise, our own.
