August

Summer is here, the sun is so very hot.

You could fry an egg on most any spot.

The fishing and trips to the beach are fun.

On the other hand, working is no fun in the sun.

God made the different seasons, some can be extreme.

The bitter cold in winter makes summer feel a dream.

We really are blessed no matter the season.

Our control heat and air keep us comfortable within reason.

August means the year is more than half gone.

The older we get the faster the years keep moving on.

Next year if you have ice and snow and if you want it to stop,

Remember hot old August, we wanted rain but not a drop.

The Lord has control of time and the season,

We complain, but know that is the only way and reason.

Even when August is hot more uncomfortable then the rest.

Many things we have to be thankful for we are very blessed.
