Farewell To Summer
F orming leisure into priceless summer memories
A round campfires and backyard bar-b-ques
R equires little but long days of June’s welcome sunshine
E ventful gathering of July’s sunsets in blazing hues
W hile we linger to watch the August night ignite the stars
E veryone contently wrapped in summers warm cloak
L oving week-ends of mountain paths and lakeside swims
L uscious scents of roses, lilies and brief gentle rains
T ranscends our senses as days fall towards September rites
O n summer winds come Autumns chilling quick breath
S urrounded with lush gardens of ample harvest baskets
U nder umbrellas shaded canopy our final days of vacations
M arking the end of summer as we swim against the transition
M asking the shorter days with the last pitch of our tents
E xperience finally the first fog laced mornings of webs with dew
R esisting the final farewell to summer as Autumn colors wave
