Goodbye Summer

You gave me all the love I needed 

with your sunny days

The time has come for you to say 

you must be on your way 

I will remember all the memories 

made under the stars at night

There were special ones 

we call the northern lights 

The flowers that you gave to me 

in my soul will rest

Some with everlasting love 

they were the very best

Now we welcome the cool crisp days 

with the colors they will bring

The birds will fly to warmer places 

with a few left here to sing

The leaves will fall to the ground 

for a blanket from the frost

From green to orange and red 

in the winds they will be tossed

The morning dew will turn snow white 

as the temps will surely fall

Your beauty from the shorter days 

will be spectacular for all
