Oh please wake me up when September begins Day one of September's the first day of Spring. Here in this hemisphere on the south side Our weather revives from a cold Winter bride. Daffodils bloom, and new growth is seen Lush paddocks spread out with grass oh so green. The sun in the blue sky is a welcome sight Our day is now warmer and so is our night. Spring brings such renewal to brighten our moods More time is spent outside as Winter concludes. The earth on the north side brings September's fall Where days become colder with Summers recall. A change to the season with carpets of leaves That fall to the ground when stripped from the trees. Then Winter takes over with cold and the rain While here in the south I'll have Summer again. And so to you now, these words I do send September for me brings a start not an end.
