A May Basket Poem by Mary Naylor

A May Basket

May is a flower opening in the grass.
May is a golden smile that warms you as you pass.
May is the kiss of the sun on bare arms.
Welcome to May and her radiant charms!

Later, there will be wilting heat,
And there may be icy sleet;
Or, there will be chilling rain,
And, as always, there will be pain.

But, just in this gentle moment,
Basking in this blessing sent,
Let us raise our voices today,
And give thanks for joyous May!
