Summer burst Blaze of sun Temps rising Pool splashing fun Water the lawn Pull those weeds Enjoy the flowers Stifle a sneeze Grab a hat Sunblock too Bar-B-Que party Just me and you Memory treasures All heaven sent Life's little pleasures God's gifts evident

Flower joy Red and yellow Blue and lilac Lovely and mellow
Peachy begonias Smile in the sun White roses My heart they've won
Lantana oh so purple Oleander shock of pink Petunias syrupy sweet Pansies bob and wink
Busy bees and butterflies Hop from bloom to bloom Vinca's stand up tall Marigolds a colorful plume
Such a show of color Painted by our God On a green background With His glorious rod

Though life is challenging right now, our God is still blessing us with the beauty of His creation. Today as I woke up I marveled at the wonders of His sunshine invading my room and wrote this poem. Praying that it blesses you and reminds you to thank God for every gift He gives us to help us through this difficult time worldwide…
Light then shadows
Blinking and sparkles
Shapes wall dancing
Sunshine playing
Warmth invades
Peeking through shades
Morning has come
New day dawn
Lifted my eyes
Clear blue skies
What beautiful view
Lord God, thank you!

His sunshine winked at me
I smiled back, delighted
Clear skies bathed me in a blue sea
Soft wind danced around excited
Brilliant magenta flowers laugh
Their leaves gently clap with joy
Butterfly took a daisy nap
Kitty chased a dried leaf “toy”
Bees dart, distant bells bong
My eyes find a lady bug gem
Unseen birds sing a happy song
Chimes try to join with them
In my garden I find such peace
Its surprises are never ending
God’s creation is always a feast
His presence and love abounding!

Garden chair
Table
Tea
Cat napping.
Warm sun
Healing
Restoring
Lovely blanket.
Like a scarf
Falls cross my neck
Cozy
Comforting.
Head to toe
Wrapped
Held
Aglow.
Shoulders drenched
Getting hot, cool breeze
Soothing rays
Joy.
Today reminds me
Reminds me of my God
His love
His love is like the sun.
