ADIEU TO JUNE 2020: By Polly Guerin

























June warmed up slowly like a petulant child
Her days were humid and sunshine mild

She celebrated summer's gentle awakening
With dreams of  picnics and beach relating

Yet isolation was still the virus' official order
We kept masks and distance on the border

We zoomed, here, we zoomed everywhere
Our hearts were lonely, so we shared

Father's Day paid homage to honor men
A special PRIDE month was on the mend

Justice without prejudice in the nation
Juneteenth emerged for emancipation

And they marched nationwide to protest
New York was put through the outcry test

The solstice made summer shout out loud
We wore summer shorts in distance crowd

The promise of the dawning of a new day
Made us wish June's troubles would go away

For everything good will happen July to August
With sunshine's golden glow let's join the chorus.
