Summer Sleeps While Autumn Peeks

The heat of summer will be fading
Early darkness will be shading 
The warm breezes we have felt
Powers of the sun will melt
In slumber and disappear
Summer napping till next year
But memories always remain
As the last of summer rain
Falls from a blue friendly sky
A rainbow--one last goodbye
Summers going to depart
Autumns coolness will now start
Leaves turning gold, red and brown
Green ones falling to the ground
No more flowers blossoming
Buds are slowly closing in
Blades of grass no longer finding
Morning dew drippy and shining
Light sweaters now being worn
Days of shorts and tanks tops gone
Months of seasons in a year
One comes in, one disappears
Enjoy the ones you love and try
To cherish them before they "die"
