Summer begins

On the longest day

More sunlight

And less worry

Over cold ceases

For nights

Dripping with warmth

Allow us

To stay outside

Chat with friends

Over leisurely

Ganders at

How well

The world

We care for

Returns its love

With crickets

Making music

And soon to be

shining stars

We never forget

We are in

Our world together

-Jennie Nawrocki
