before the sun's splendor
caresses the earth with warmth
or the wind's breath
dances across misty blades of green
I hear Your voice...calling me
when the captivating fragrance
from flowering garden beds
permeates the pure air
and sparkling droplets
of dawn's dew
linger on vibrant blossoms
I sense Your love...around me
when sultry summer day
beckons me to rest
beneath the towering oak's shade
and I lie mesmerized
by the sun's rays
peeking through
the swaying branches,
I feel Your touch...comfort me
when white billowing clouds
in radiant afternoon sky
rapidly transform into
perilous thunderous bursts
emptying heaven's reservoir
onto parched land
while the glorious rainbow of
long-ago covenant
stretches across the land
I see Your mercy...upon me
as the colossal sun
dips beyond the horizon
and the evening sky illuminates
in tones of orange and crimson
and faithful cresent moon returns
with her goodnight lullaby
Your grace....reminds me
YOU, Precious Lord
are the Summertime of my soul
