Summer Calls
Summer calls, come now with me
To place of dream and reverie
Where nature, wind and sunshine dance
with stars and night and soft romance
Rustic cabin in the woods
Where as a child I came
A place to shelter, eat and sleep
And find myself again
Red squirrels frolic in the trees
Dragon flies ride on the breeze
Blue Jays laugh in raucous call
Cicadas sing song, rise and fall
Grassy clearing in the trees
Fire burning in the night
Where golden children laugh and sing
With innocent delight
Down winding path from cabin door
Past juniper and pine
Toward the lake I make my way
Through scent of summertime
Blue world of light and endless space
Where water, sand and sky embrace
Soft clouds lazy on the breeze
Waves dance and sparkle on the seas
Gay umbrellas down the way
Happy children splash and play
Mothers waiting, watchful stand
Lovers walking hand in hand
When darkness falls, the world grows still
And dancing stars the night sky fill
Now I, am left alone to be
Silent before heaven’s mystery
And in this place of summer past
For those who feeling see
Loved ones who once summered here
Still walk among the trees
