The sun bears down today
Not cruel but firm
Insistently
Patient
Winning our grudging recognition
Acceptance of its force
Car windows go up
Air conditioners on
Jackets come off
Buttons are undone
Joggers walk
Runners jog
Walkers smile in their malls
Children play and play
Barely noticing the stinging sweat
They wipe from their eyes

I love this one! Thanks for sharing it. I wish I had been more like a child who didn’t notice the sweat yesterday evening while I mowed the yard!
