Reflections: A Mid-Summer’s Night Treat--By Maurice J. Reynolds--United States

Reflections: A Mid-Summer’s Night Treat

A mid-summer’s night treat, so sweet,
just me, the open sky, the stars, and wild
flowers reacting to a soft breeze, stimulating
my mind, to unwind….just a tease of summer
days spent in my grandfather’s arms, heart-to-
heart talks with my father accented by my
mother’s charm….a mid-summer’s night
treat, remembering playing freely with friends
without the fear of harm, delightful moments in
the garden with granny; quality time galore….
reflections I so adore on this mid-summer
night, what a treat, so sweet.

    Rev MJ your trip back in time brings back my youth in the country in Texas with the fields of Bluebonnets and Indian Paint brush each Spring, the Honeysuckle vines and hummingbirds and of course the
    Mocking Bird. Robert

    Dear Rev. Reynolds,
    Another tribute to the gift of this world, and all we have been given--not just in nature, but in grandparents, parents, their love and concern, their profound faith and goodness. Thank you.
