Saying Goodbye To Summer

SAYING GOODBYE TO SUMMER Come at close those tearful eyes Hair now bathed in wind and rain Reluctantly she breathes a sigh Months too soon away have passed Days and nights all warm and loving Hard to say goodbye at last But closer now the whistle sound An eerie distant warning For Autumn Falls express is bound Dave Austin

I love the bounties of summer; the happy sun, the flowers and all the freshness of the scents that accompany this season. Today is yesterdays tomorrow, and summer is still running its course. Keep well, hugs to you, Mikki

A lovely entrance into my favorite season Daver. This is beautiful. I am finally over that bronchitis and out of bed. Blessings, Connie

I was kind of thinking of a lover saying goodbye to his sweetheart and saying goodbye to summer as well. Thanks for reading. Love, daver
