Summer don’t leave me…

Posted on August 20, 2011 by Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Summer don’t leave me
stay under my feet
hang warm in the sky
don’t dry up the wheat

Summer stay near me
to kiss my skin tan
mess up my long hair
hold tight my hand

Summer please stay here
in the chokecherry trees
on the back of a good horse
in the green of the leaves

Oh, Summer my good friend
there’s only so many hours
so take the bees and the rainbows…

but don’t take my wildflowers

  Thanks farmhouse. Isn’t that little girl adorable? We had such a lovely day together frolicking on the ranch. Too bad her momma wouldn’t let me keep her 🙂 lol

  Thanks swanlzs. The changing of seasons brings out the same feelings in me too, year after year, no matter how old I get.
