O God of all seasons,
Of work and rest,
Warm breezes and cricket songs
Offer glimpses of summer's coming.

May our lengthening days
Bring to all, a bit of quiet and stillness,
A place apart from full schedules
And busy days.

May glowing night windows
Frame our ordinary habitations,
Cherished activities,
Lives gathered in love.

Above us,
May your mantle of stars
Remind us all
That in you, we are home.

Amen
