Of summer tastes
We can delight
In crispy apples
Or juicy melons
A teaspoon of honey
In season or out
Refreshes one’s spirit
In so many ways
Flavorful berries
Freshly picked
Oh, how wonderful
To eat by the gallons
Sweeter than these
Are kind words spoken
To encourage and brighten
Through nights and days
Charlotte-Anne Allen
Kind and peaceful
Offering a hand
Soothing and calming
Bringing good to the land
Sensitive to others
Forgiving and strong
Letting go of anger
When others have done wrong
Soft and cozy
Speaks of things sweet
Strawberry ice cream
Smooth cool treat
Bringing happiness and positivity
Optimistic and showing love … is sweet pink.

So polite
What a nice surprise
Speaking to someone
Who is courteous and kind
Pleasant Well-mannered
It lifts the spirit
Being civil
Is a good habit
Ladies and gentlemen
It speaks much about us
Making a better world
…Being gracious
