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
