Departing Summer
The last days of summer --
Where did she go?
We just welcomed Springtime
A short time ago!
The days do deceive us,
So warm and so bright,
But darkness is truthful
More blankets at night!
The birds tend to gather.
Are they planning too?
As Fall makes her entrance
They know what to do.
The pool in the park
Has closed for the season;
School busses pass ...
There must be a reason.
Far off in the corn field,
We hear the crow's call.
You surely have guessed it!
Let's welcome the Fall.
