July - A Symphony of Sun and Joy



July arrives in a golden blaze,

With sun-kissed hours and carefree days.

Strawberry sweetness on every tongue,

Juicy Watermelon, the taste of summer has begun.


Barefoot steps on grassy trails,

Adventure dancing through leafy veils.

We wander where the wild things grow,

In dappled woods where breezes blow.


The sea invites with sparkling cheer,

We dive into summer, bold and clear.

Salt on skin, waves in our hair,

The world feels lighter, stripped of care.


Evenings bloom in amber light,

Cocktails shimmer, our spirits are bright.

We toast the day as sunset gleams,

Lost in a warm and wondering dream. 


From beachside bliss, to mountain highs,

Jetting beneath the skies.

Or holidays close, where laughter flows,

In July pure magic grows.


So let this month be wild and free,

A dance beneath a sunlit tree.

A time of joy, where memories stay,

July, where dreams come out to play.

Welcome, Sweet June


Hello to June, so bright and fair,

With golden sun and scented air.

A month of blossoms, skies so blue,

Of morning dew and fresh day’s hue.


The flowers bloom in soft array,

As nature sings in sweet ballet.

Warm breezes dance through every tree

A gentle hint of serenity.


Joy tiptoes in on summer’s beam,

Awakening each hopeful dream.

Laughter lingers in the light,

And hearts grow full, so warm, so right.


But more than this, one star shines through

A birthday girl, so bright and true.

In June she came, a gift, a song,

A light that’s guided me so long.


So here’s to June, her shining start,

With sunshine wrapped around my heart.

To flowers, warmth, and skies above

And most of all, to you, my love.


Poem written by Catherine for this beautiful month of June.

First of May

On the first of May, the world awakes,

In petal’d hues the soft wind shakes,

With blossoms dancing light and free,

A tender hymn from every tree.


The tulip lifts its painted head,

And bluebells adorn the woodland spread,

The lilacs sing in scented grace,

As sunshine warms the morning’s face.


Each breeze a brush, each leaf a sigh,

The bluebirds flying gracefully on high,

While bees, like secrets, hum and roam,

Through gardens clothed in floral foam.


The earth herself wears joy anew,

In robes of green and skies of blue,

And all around, the pulse of spring

Beats vibrant through each living thing.


So on this day, breathe deep, be still

Let beauty rise, and heart refill.

The first of May has softly come,

And life, once more, begins to hum.
