The summer sun welcomes me outto sandy beaches with palm trees. I am lulled by caressing raysas warm as heavy, denim quilts.The heat melts away distressesfrom my muscles, from my thinking.Entranced and contented, I baskin the careless arms of sunshine.

Oh sun! Fervid sun!You welcome me with summer.Drench me in your rays.

If I could have one friend,just one in all the world,I know that I would not seek outa boy or pretty girl.The friend I’d dare to chooseto stand by me each daywould be a dragon fierce enoughto scare the world away.

Memories of past.Heartaches of old.Courage of brass.Lessons of gold.

How much kindness should I show?Enough to set all hearts aglow.Just how patient must I be?Enough to calm the stormy sea.How much love doth God require?Enough to lift the heavens higher.

Life is the season for loving and caring,for laughing and caroling, giving and sharing.Christmas is meant for the same, people say,which makes life like Christmastime every day.

Oh, Man in the Moon""Oh, man in the moon, send an evening star to wink at my dreary eyes, and I shall make a wish for a peaceful world that spins with no more lies. Oh, man in the moon, send the night's cool breeze to lull my leery heart, and I shall cast my fears to the wind with ease, and watch them all depart.Oh, man in the moon, send the sandman's dust to rest my weary soul, and I shall slumber in happy dreams until the morning bells do toll.

Oh, the wondrous places through which I wander:woodlands, meadows, and green hillsides yonder.I hike over mossy, meandering paths.Dead branches serve nicely as walking staffs.The sunset paints scenery crimson and gold.Oh, wondrous nature dyed in colors bold.

The blue of daylightfades and chills as the sun sinksbeneath clouds of fire.
