Summer's End

I heard autumn's voice as it echoed that day Telling summer it must end Summer then sighed, and teary eyed, reluctantly went away Colors of red and gold autumn did send But the sun diminished in warmth Telling summer it must end Gone were the butterflies fluttering charms they seemed to have flown away with the wind As the sun diminished in warmth The hummingbirds too were harder to find They knew that summer was through they also floated away with the wind The trees mourned the loss of their leaves too And the flowers could no longer abide They knew that summer was through I listened awhile as I stood outside And I heard autumn's voice as it echoed that day And when the flowers could no longer abide Summer then sighed, and teary eyed, reluctantly went away 8-26-2013
