     I'VE SAVED THE SUMMER

 

I've saved the summer

And I give it all to you

To hold on winter mornings

When the snow is new.

 

I've saved some sunlight¹

If you should ever need

A place away from darkness²

Where your mind can feed.

 

And for myself I've kept your smile

When you were but nineteen,

Till you're older you'll not know

What brave young smiles can mean.

 

I know no answers

To help you on your way

The answers lie somewhere 

At the bottom³ of the day.

 

But if you've a need for love

I'll give you all l own

It might help you down the road

Till you've found your own.

(by Rod McKuen)
