Summer Beauty
The loveliness that I behold
So far beyond compare ,
The  joy I feel within my soul
Tells me my Savior’s near .
I see Him in red roses 
That bloom along the vine .
I feel Him in the gentle wind
That sweeps the Summer pines .
The sky enfolds me like a glove 
Of magic azure blue ,
And I’m reminded that His love 
Surrounds me this way,too !
A rolling carpet of green grass 
Back up this breathless view
And I know for me that Heaven
Will be in colors of this hue .
As the sun slips slowly out of sight 
In  its westerly direction ,
I want to whisper ,” Please don’t go ,
Don’t end this day’s perfection .”
