On a September Day As I Sit

On a September day as I sit 
on my front porch 
watching the yellow leaves 
fall ever so fast 
from an old black walnut tree 
my daddy planted in the past, 

On a September day as I sit 
I think where did the summer go 
it just did not seem to last 
look at the hummingbird 
stopped to take a sip or two 
from my feeder 
he know summer is about through, 

On a September day as I sit 
on my front porch 
the hot sun feel so good 
as it beat down upon my feet 
I know soon I will have to move over 
to let winter take my seat 
I will miss picking fresh green beans 
from my garden with a 
tomato or two 
I feel sad because 
summer nearly through, 

On a September day as I sit 
on my front porch 
frogs frogs I watch hop everywhere 
who but me really cares 
crickets have now arrived 
as I love watching them jump 
out side, 
the bees are gathering there honey 
and closing up there nest 
soon the cool air will arrive 
bees know what best, 

On a September day as I sit 
on my front porch 
it not to late to go 
out to a fair or fest 
pick up a beautiful purple mum 
to plant in my flower bed 
I always remember God in control 
just like my life 
Happy Fall to you all 
I think enough said.
