Green stem unfurls Puts on delicate bloomsLike a flower girl's headpieceIn a miniature weddingTiny ivory trumpetsLike fairy gobletsEach centered with sunshineTrimmed with rimsOf peppermint. 

A cloth so fine no human hand could weave,No lace so perfect,No silk so satin-soft as God's fabric on this Orange-pink sunlit rose.How did He do it?Does He have a loom?Does he use needles or shuttle?Masterpiece after masterpiece.

Fragrant of summer,Food from the garden,Bright on the table with family all round.Crisp lettuce, red radishes,Onions, sliced tomatoes;How we will miss you when summer is gone.
