A Prayer for Summer

 

        &= nbsp;           &= nbsp;   A rippling sea of green and gold

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   Is shimmering before us.

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   As wind stirs the tall corn,

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   Wave after green wave rises high

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   Reaching for the summer sun.

 

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   Lord God,

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   When you summon seeds

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   From these furrowed fields,

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   How readily they obey!

 

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   Like the myriad crops,

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   Help us grow steadily:

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   Help us stretch, ripen,    &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;            &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;            &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;            &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;    

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   Round out, unfold.

 

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   In the warm rays of your strength,

        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;   Help us  yield goodness!
