Oh, Hello September
I want to be lost in a sea of rainbow leaves
as the drum of time rolls and September is here
and Summer is a shadow on the wall of time
today clouds sail across a blue azure sky
though some clouds are still and powder puff beautiful
but sadly my garden in the stillness is decaying
and fading, fading each day with whispers of farewell
for the nights are cool and crisp
oh, hello September, I welcome your breezy ways
and the leaves that will fall and float, spin and twirl
it is time for pumpkin pies and roasted chestnuts
cuddly sweaters and lighting a crackling fire
and making fat apple pies like grandma used to bake
and going for walks to enjoy the vibrant nature change
my golden hair flowing and my cheeks blushed mauve
and my lips ruby red waiting for a raindrop kiss
the lovely emerald trees now vivid colors against the sky
and squirrels are busy gathering and birds tweet a song
as my feet crunch the leaves and the air is scented earthy
oh, hello September ...
