September Moods

 

As Autumn shadows lengthen,

And shorter grow the days

I know I love September

In so many different ways!

September rolls up all the moods

That other months have given

And sends them flying on a cloud,

Straight to seventh heaven!

The wistful moods of rainy days

Seem to echo in the fun

Of happy hours remembered,

Or beach and wind and sun!

The moods I felt in early Spring

Beside a crackling fire

Seem to renew, in Autumn's dream,

Some unfulfilled desire!

The wintry winds spoiled many a plan,

Dipping the mood quite low,

But the sparkling sun on the crisp, white snow

Made me want to go, go, go!

September spurs the memories

Of the months as they came and went

And stirs one to evaluate

Just how the time was spent!

The Fall is frosting on life's cake

The moods, the savory spice,

But September is the cake itself,

Because it is so nice!
