Summers End


No more children-filled, fun summers
My Music has now changed drummers

Those summer faces now gone for good
sweet little faces gobbling favorite foods

Teaching small bodies to swim
Now they quickly dive in on a whim

They don’t need you anymore
Because they fill a new door

You grow older, and life is unsteady
They’re life’s in front of them, and they’re ready

They now make paths for themselves
My aches and pains put me on a shelf

My April, Mays, and Junes
Are August and September moons

It’s just another season
But, if I am blue, that is my reason

I miss those lazy summer days
Sitting quietly watching children play

Now the only sound I hear
Is the rocking noise of my porch chair

It feels like September winds might bring
A new melancholy song for me to sing

Take advantage of your summertime youth
Before September winds move your booth

It’s when you only have memories of times past
We ask ourselves, how did it go so fast?

Silver Lining

Dark clouds pass by and block the sun Causing difficult days for everyone Never feel hopeless or give in to complaining Disturbing...
