Coffee for Your Heart-My Summer Love
By Susie
The fan whirs,
I wipe sweat
And push back matted hair.
The lake creeps up
In a certain rhythm
Singing a lullaby through
My screen window.
The clock ticks loud
Preaching to me
Of time and
Of seasons
Reminding me that in this season
The season of heat, and summer and joy and sweat
You are here with me,
My summer love,
You are
The gentle breeze that whispers
All is well.
The mighty tree that bends to shade
My sun scored heart.
You are
The ice-cold lemonade- frosty in my glass
quenching my deep soul thirst
You are
the watermelon juicing down
My face into my tummy
Filling me over and over with
All things sweet.
You are
The crescent moon
That strings up lights on my darkest nights
Twinkling reminders that
The dark
will never really be dark
Because I am with you,
My summer love.
In this season
And in the next
For today
And for always.
Forever we will be
Together
Me and my summer love.
Psalm 74:17
You own the day, you own the night; you put stars and sun in place. You laid out the four corners of earth, shaped the seasons of summer and winter.
