One More Day

As the days grow shorter I feel discontent, I look at summer and wonder where it went. I remember in the recent past when days were long, Only to realize the summer is now gone. I still enjoy autumn with its chill in the air, The skies are still blue and the weather quite fair. Soon so many colors will be displayed in the trees, I’m not quite ready for the impending winters freeze. As I get older I see time does fly, I watch as the trees start to die. They explode in color in one last stance, Seeming to invite me for one last dance. Another summer’s gone the air start to chill, I view all the beauty from on top of this hill. I watch and listen but it all seems strange, Summer becomes autumn Is this new change. I remember this summer with days that don’t end, All that I’ve met become those I befriend. I’m not really sad but wish for more time, But I can’t help but see the clock just unwind. The world keeps spinning as this season shall come. Still time is left for me to stand in the sun. I’m thankful to greet just one more day, I still hoped that summer wouldn’t be on its way. As the chill grows I will wrap my coat around you. Together we shall cherish all we’ve been through. I remember hope and how it helps me survive, I want this one day and feel so alive.
