September Falls

Summer dims down in search of cold weather
Elements shifting and changing the mood
People spend more time inside together
Time to prepare for winters attitude
Evening now starts earlier each day
Moving closer to the brand new season
Boys and girls back to school recess to play
Elevating young minds for right reasons
Routines come back to family members
Fall officially returns at months end
Autumns leaves wilt right into December
Lazily floating in Septembers wind
Listen to the whispers as winter calls
September is the month when summer falls
