I wish to thank Mr. John Ashford for permitting me to use his wonderful painting "Funtastic Five"

Summers Child

A summers child is precious
so watch him as he grows
He is fresh and bright as the sunshine
and must be taught all that he knows

Whichever way he grows
is mainly in your hands
With your guidance you must mold him
and shape into a man

Like a cool breeze on a summers day
this child so young and bold
Can be a breath of fresh air
or someone harsh and cold

So teach him well this summers child
and help him be a man
That in the autumn of his life
proud and strong is how he'll stand
