Suddenly September
Just yesterday we thrilled at tiny buds on all the trees,
We anxiously awaited to see dragonflies and bees.
The days grew ever longer and warm breezes melted snow,
Now it’s suddenly September, where did the summer go?
Just yesterday we thrilled at tiny buds on all the trees,
We anxiously awaited to see dragonflies and bees.
The days grew ever longer and warm breezes melted snow,
Now it’s suddenly September, where did the summer go?
Just yesterday we tapped the trees then boiled the golden treasure,
We dreamed and planned of endless days of summer play and leisure.
We delighted when the loons came home and cried their soulful call.
Now it’s suddenly September, coloured leaves have begun to fall.
Just yesterday the phoebes built a nest outside our door.
Summer days bred evening storms, with lightening’s flash and thunder’s roar.
Giggling children paddled toes in icy water off the dock,
Now it’s suddenly September, can I turn back the clock?
As I sit beside the cracking fire and ponder coming days,
There’s turkey dinners, pumpkin pies and Christmas holidays.
When days cool down and birds fly south and the harvest moon rises high,
Carpe diem, live for today, for it will suddenly be July.

Good Job Widget....your talents are everywhere you've just been keeping them hidden.
Very Nice. Well written.
Why on god's earth would you want to go back to the beginning of summer. The year is just beginning to hold promice.
Don't worry, everyone, McGuinty said he's doing something to combat global warming, so we can prepare for the warmest winter on record.
