The fairest daughter of the year

June is a popular month.

I say this because when I went looking for June poems, I had immense success. There were so many that I had a hard time picking just one, so I chose two. One is actually a proverb.

“Kind hearts are the gardens;
kind thoughts are the roots;
kind words are the flowers;
kind deeds are the fruits.”
–  English Proverb

Spend time in nature, even if it is in your backyard. Perhaps you’ll mow your lawn at the same time (be grateful you don’t have to use a scythe.)

“Mine is the Month of Roses; yes, and mine
The Month of Marriages! All pleasant sights
And scents, the fragrance of the blossoming vine,
The foliage of the valleys and the heights.
Mine are the longest days, the loveliest nights;
The mower’s scythe makes music to my ear;
I am the mother of all dear delights;
I am the fairest daughter of the year.”
–  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
