Farewell to summer's azure sky, <br />Rays of lustrous sunlight, <br />Fluffy, white clouds floating by, <br />The scintillating stars at night. <br /> <br />Farewell to Summer's sandy shore, <br />The pinnacle of the shade trees, <br />The clear, rushing water of a creek, <br />The rolling waves of the surging seas. <br /> <br />Farewell to Summer's whispery rain, <br />Intermittent breezes that come and go, <br />Many birds in regularly recurring song, <br />Nocturnal beetles with bodies aglow. <br /> <br />Farewell to Summer's multiple activities, <br />Reunions, vacations, entertainment and more, <br />Summer delighted us with blessings like these - <br />Memorable thoughts of Summer days to store.<br /><br />Joseph T.
