Night

The frogs croak.
The owl hoots.
The clocks tick.
Children sleep soundly.
I sit and listen.
I am thankful for today.

Thankful

I have love.
I need no more.
I have faith.
I need no more.
I have friends.
I need no more.
I have you.
I need no more.

Summer

Sizzling sunshine
drenches the day.
Sweat
drips
down
my
back.
I breath in warm, humid air.
Shade is a small refuge.
But wait, a breeze
floats
my
way.
The caress of an angel.
Butterflies
and
dragonflies
don't mind the heat.
They are carefree as they fly.
I stop to watch them and
remember summer is full of
beauty, too.
I will truly look more often.
