Summer's End

Saying goodbye to summer's
Unrelenting heat brings joy.
Munchkins return to the classroom and
Moms now have a moment's peace.
Eagerly I await autumn's flora and
Relish the delightful coolness of the weather as
Summer relinquishes her throne.

Enjoy the dregs of summer,
Now that the days grow shorter, but
Don't be sad - she'll return next year.

Reads like winning material to me..Enjoyed reading this eve..I am glad that I chose this one to read..It will be back..It was a hot steamy one today here one of those steamy uncomfortable days..Maybe tomorrow will be dryer.Thanks for the visit to my work..The story about my sister-in-law was a true one ..She has gone on to her reward into heavenly gates..Sara
