 May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii

ODE TO MAY

May has come in flowered lei
With many rainbows on display
     And fields of green
     Are quite serene
Unlike the brown of summer's burn

The smell of budding orchards sate
The air with nectar 'round my gate
     And birds and bees
     Are searching trees
And every flower, shrub, and fern

The bees for honey for the comb
The birds for twigs to make a home
     They buzz and sing
     And often bring
A rhythm to the poets ode

Oh May, we thank you ever more
You touch our hearts and you restore
     The waking sod
     Our faith in God
And peace where e'er we abode. 

                  Aloha F.H.
