	A Farewell to Summer

Summer, my dear ... What is this I hear about your leaving ? It seems awfully early, 
doesn't it ?? You just got here ...
You don't have to say much to me, my love ... I knew from the beginning, when you came
to my place that you wouldn't stay ... ;(  You never have ! And even thought you 
haven't said it to my face yet, I have heard that fact and seen the signs that tell
me you have got your feet ready to depart and have got your bags half-packed ...

Just last week, I saw the flower heads turned crisp and crackly.  And I saw the ferns
turning brown ... I saw the wild berries are just ready for picking ... I also saw the
squirrels and the chipmunks ... They've got food on their tiny minds, the winter food ...
That tells me something ... ;((

Come on, summer ... You kiss me with 90 degree hear during the day, and in the evening,
caress me with the 70's.  But just before drawn, I can feel the restlessness in you,
and the chill slowly slip in ...

I can not tell you what to do, my dear summer ...  You have always gone your own way ...
But please, oh, please, do not go yet ... Take my hand and walk with me some more ...
Tell me again how it was in the older day and how it will be tomorrow where I can
not see or know ...

When the nightime comes, let me hold you just one more time closer ... Let me count the
stars in your clear and blue summer sky ... Let me listen to the music of eternity
as it played by nightingale and the leaves of trees and the instrumental strings
of those who dream the sweetest dreams ...

And if you have to leave, sweet summer, and I know in my heart that you have to,
please let me down easy ... We will not be together as many times in the future as
we had in the past ... There have been more yesterdays than there will be tomorrow ... ;((
So, stay with me ... as long as you can, my dear summer ...
