Rejoice

A poem about the Summer Solstice by Sharon Bousfield.

Cold and hard, the ground like stone

with wind that chilled us to the bone

Those winter days gradually fade away

as do those clouds of grey

Spring has been, and now its gone

Our clocks went forward, increased by one

The ground is woken by the sun. To watch

all it’s changes it can be fun

With many colours at different stages

Snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils, and no

more snow top covered hills

We can see the changes all around, yet we

do not hear a sound

It’s summer at last, the days are longer,

with Vitamin D we all feel stronger

Please remember to just stop and think

The earth can change as quick as a blink

Be thankful for all the seasons. They’re all 

there for different reasons

Summer solstice is here at last

Let us all rejoice at this time of rebirth. Give

our thanks to the earth

For all its wonders for us to share. We give

our thanks with love and care
