The calendar turns over to a new month.
Goodbye to August and a hot hot summer,
welcome to September followed by
fall at last and welcome to cooling temperatures.
School has begun again for many not me,
family vacations are almost over after
Labor Day's holiday as our sun moves
further to the South, we will travel to Texas.
Sunrise comes later each day as
sunset arrives sooner in the evenings.
The sun is less intense as harvest time
comes with its welcome succulent fruits.
Rewards for planting, tending and waiting
for results patiently come to many
as we try to forget that cold winter days
are too soon to arrive and send us indoors.
What life season are you moving through
at this time? Some older people like me
would say winter, but inside my spirit remains
young though I am ready for fall's harvest.
