A Seasonal Change in May

Quote
May is the month of promise and the sweet beginnings of Summer  
 author Unknown 


The last month of autumn for me is May
Our sunny blue skies make way for the grey.
Leaves flutter down, making trees cold and bare
Mornings are cooler with mist in the air.
Soon May will leave us, as winter takes hold
Fire's will light up to keep out the cold.
So, while you enjoy your spring there in May
Wait for the summer to brighten your day
The seasons will change in each hemisphere
While you have summer, it is winter here.
