Farewell Summer

The sun glistens on the trees

Through the brightly colored autumn leaves

Shadows cast on the ground

All near the ground squirrels' mound

The birds' songs grow weak

As the autumn mornings become more bleak

Traces that summer was here

Have yet to disappear

But everyone knows fall is near

The animals and plants leave or die

And all that can be said is Goodbye

It may be sad but not everyone can hibernate in a den

But we all know that summer will be back again...
