Goodbye Summer
Too many thoughts swimming inside my head
As the sun hits the horizon the color is red
I just need to get up from out of my bed
I reflect upon all the words that were said.
I drop to my knees and start to pray
Maybe it all shall be different today
So many consequences to decisions I made
I see what I have and the price that I paid.
I shake off the cob webs and hit the street
The pavement is cold under my feet
My heart starts to race and skips a beat
I just need a moment so I take a seat.
I watch the animals scurry around
Looking for food but there’s none to be found
The birds join in with a singing sound
Soon the leaves shall fall to the ground.
Summer is gone I feel sort of sad
As I remember all the good times I had
I wish for more time more memories to add
But soon the leaves change and for this I am glad.
