Welcome June, not a moment too soon;

As flower blossoms transition to fruition under the Strawberry Moon;

Leading up to the Summer Solstice on the longest day and shortest night;

When the Sun shines bright, climbing to the highest point in the sky.

Welcome June, Midsummer, Alban Hefin and Litha;

Once known as Juno, after the mighty wife of Jupiter;

Daughter of Saturn, revered for her unwavering loyalty;

Speaking to relationships built on understanding, support, deep love and intimacy.

Welcome June, full of sunshine and promise;

With the warm rays of Summer stretching out before us;

As fearless fledglings launch from early nests and tree branches;

Nature dances with Moths, Crickets, Beetles, Wasps, Bees, Damselflies, Daddy-Long-Legs and Grasshoppers.
