Summertime Poem by Joyce Hemsley

Oh shining summer ~ a picture book
Of beautiful days spent by the brook
Distant hills that meet a blue sky
And village spires, towering so high.
Mass of white clouds, a billowing sea
Skylarks singing for you and me.

Oh sparkling summer, a picture book
Of a cosy cottage in a quiet nook.
Waterfalls that lovers pass by
And the admiral wings of a butterfly.
Love and romance and Spanish guitars
Warm summer nights beneath the stars
