Yes, it’s time to say goodbye now <br />We’ll miss her so very much <br />She gave us many smiles <br />With her fragrant brilliant touch <br /> <br />Summer’s pink and white impatiens <br />Filled numerous pots and corners <br />Nearly spent now as we feel <br />A bit like nature’s mourners <br /> <br />The green leaves that we love as well <br />Will turn their autumn colors <br />Reds and yellows so magnificent <br />Always spectacular like no others <br /> <br />There is a chill that fills the air is now <br />A turning point for sure <br />Earthiness is taking over <br />From summer so sweet and pure <br /> <br />But it’s okay, don’t you think? <br />As our seasons come and go <br />We’ll have winter and then spring <br />Before the summer we love so!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goodbye-summer-2/
