October Song

OCTOBER SONG

September was the summer’s end
With little bounty left to lend
But now October will arrive
An autumn season kept alive

The month that can hold winter back
Proud of its role that others lack
Retaining warmth so all survive
An autumn season kept alive

It sees time changes for mankind
Yet for itself, more strength to find
Such that hardier plants may thrive
An autumn season kept alive

Loved reading this, nice imagery of Autumn, I like how you put September as- 'the summer’s end'
