Summer Blooms
June arrives and summer starts to bloom,
Vacations begin, free from classroom gloom.
Beaches, barbecues, and outdoor fun,
The season has only just begun.
Run free through fields of lush, green grass,
Soak up the sun until it's time to pass.
With June here, let the joyous times roll,
Excitement in the air—summer's on a roll!
Month Of Love And Vows
June, the month of love and vows,
Peak of wedding season it proudly shows.
Blushing brides and handsome grooms,
Exchange rings under sunny June's blooms.
Blue skies, warm breeze, perfect weather,
Joyous celebration with friends together.
Serious promises made on happy days,
Forever together in countless ways.
June Retirement!
June arrives with joy in sight,
Retirements galore, what a sight!

The beach calls out, the pool so blue,
Time to relax and bid adieu.
Children Cheer
June is here, children cheer,
School is out, summer's near.
No more books or classroom grind,
Time for fun and freedom to find.
Sunshine beams and pools so blue,
Parks and beaches all brand new.
June brings joy with every dawn,
Summer break, let's carry on!
Thank You, Lord
Oh Lord, we come to you in June
To thank you for the past half year
For your grace and blessings, we attune
Through every smile and every tear
We praise you for the warmth of summer
And gentle breeze that fills our lung
We pray your love will always number
Cause in you alone our heart has sung.

Honor Our Dads
Third Sunday in June, it's finally here!
A day to celebrate and cheer.
To honor our Dads, we gather around,
With love and support that knows no bounds.
Thank you for being there through thick and thin,
For teaching us right from wrong, again and again.
We cherish the memories we've made with you,
And hope this Father's Day is extra special too!
Halfway Through The Year
Halfway through the year in warm sun rays.
Summer vacations start to shine,
The perfect time for a family wine and dine.

We chase our dreams with newfound voice.
June brings hope and cheer my way,
Excited for all these summer days!
June Quotes
Six Months To Christmas
But our thoughts turn to a winter's night.
Six months till Santa comes down the chimney,
Should we start caroling now or wait until it's more timely?
Christmas bells ring in our minds,
As we hear summer's laughter and all its kinds.
We still have time for the beach and fun,
But come on, let's admit it, Christmas is number one!
Oh, June
With your sunny days and bold front.
You bring us warm weather and good cheer,
But also allergies that make us sneer.
As the air gets heavy with pollen's dance,
We reach for tissues, our nose in a trance.
Yet despite the sneezes and watery eyes,
We can't deny your gift of vibrant skies.
June Rolls In
Lazy days of summer, where dreams take flight.
Under blue skies, we bask in nature's embrace,
With every moment, a smile on our face.
Vacations beckon, adventures on our mind,
Exploring new horizons, treasures we'll find.
Flowers in bloom, painting landscapes with grace,
Nature's vibrant colors, a picturesque embrace.
In this month of wonder, let's seize the day,
Embrace the joy that comes our way.
With hearts full of gratitude, we'll make memories,
June into July, a time of endless possibilities.
June's Solstice
When sunlight stretches out its stay,
The sun is high up in the sky,
Its warmth to all below supplies.
And we who witness this display,
Fill us a sense of awe today,
For time and light with balance weigh.
Classic June Poems
John Payne had a gift for painting pictures with words. Born in the 1800s, he often wrote about the beauty of nature and the richness of life. His love for poetry and storytelling led him to share words that still speak to the heart today. His poems remind us to slow down and see the wonder in every season.
June
Back from the East, with all her goodly train,
Is come, to glorify the world again
With length of light and middle Summer-Sheen.
In every plot, upon her throne of green,
Bright blooms the rose; with birds and blossom-rain
And perfume ecstacied are wood and plain
And Winter is as if it ne'er had been.
Oh June, liege-lady of the flowering prime,
Now that thrush, finch, lark, linnet, ousel, wren
Thy praises pipe, to the Iranian bard
Be this the burden of his song sublime—
"June is the month of poets, and of men
Whose hearts are glad with summer and the Lord."
James Russell Lowell believed in using his words to inspire change and celebrate life’s blessings. He wrote about nature, faith, and the values that hold us together. A teacher and poet, he helped people find meaning through simple truths. His famous line, "And what is so rare as a day in June?" still lifts the spirit.
June
Poet: James Russell Lowell
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and towers,
And, groping blindly above it for light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers;
The flush of life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys
Best known for Anne of Green Gables, Lucy Maud Montgomery had a heart for storytelling and a deep love for God’s creation. Her poems capture the joy found in each day, whether it’s a morning breeze or a quiet walk among the trees. She reminds us that beauty often lives in the simplest things.
A Summer Day
And dances with the diamond rills;
The ambrosial wind but faintly stirs
The silken, beaded gossamers;
In the wide valleys, lone and fair,
Lyrics are piped from limpid air,
And, far above, the pine trees free
Voice ancient lore of sky and sea.
Come, let us fill our hearts straightway
With hope and courage of the day.
Christina Rossetti’s poems are gentle, thoughtful, and full of faith. She wrote with honesty about life’s joys and struggles, offering comfort through her words. Her poetry reminds us that even in quiet moments, there is purpose, and even in sadness, there is hope.
A Bird Song
Oh, last summer green things were greener,
Brambles fewer, the blue sky bluer.
It's surely summer, for there's a swallow:
Come one swallow, his mate will follow,
The bird race quicken and wheel and thicken.
Oh happy swallow whose mate will follow
O'er height, o'er hollow!
I'd be a swallow,
To build this weather one nest together.
