Story Behind the Song 
Summer was the only time I enjoyed while growing up.  I pine for those days and I wrote this poem in that vein and it later became a contemporary piece of music for soprano, cello, and piano.
Lyrics 
morning dew rests light against the sky
 the earth’s warm sun fills my fingertips
 the boundaries of my God life knows none.
 
 refreshed in your spring, 
 cradled in your fall
 life’s rich pageant, your bounty precedes me
 and I am in awe of your serenity
 
 	II
 sweltering, placid I go,
 tall bending tree and grass, to the meadow
 refresh me, covered in golden light
 your shade invites me
 
 warm summer slumber
 as butterflies whisk by craving no other day
 down lay my head, warm westerly winds 
 wash over me,wash over me, time to you,  
 I’m lost forever in this day.
 
 	III
 coolness calls the evening to bed
 awaken from the day am I
 summer slumber  slips away
 crickets beckon darkness upon me
 
 breathing deep the fragrant smell
 corn, grass, floral wanderings
 uniting earth and sky to one with me
 calming blackness blows the breeze
 fills nostrils with arid delight
 
 all creatures of my God and King
 revel in this ecstasy
 as coolness calls the evening to bed
 as coolness calls the evening to bed
