severe summer heat

How have you been in this severe summer heat?
I hope you've been Good.

I'm good but I'm afraid the day will come
when I can't stand such heat as this.

“Don't be weak, karin. You'll be all right.
Autumn will surely come,” I say to myself
and encourage myself.

I'll lead my daily life as I always do.

I will live up to Mahatma Gandhi's saying:

Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever.

Yes, I'll enjoy 'today' and learn as long as I live.
