Happy September –

Remembering September
Whenever September comes around
There’s a difference in the air
It’s hard to fathom what it is
You just somehow know it’s there
It may be days that are cooler
Or the activity of different birds
But there’s an exciting anticipation
That’s difficult to put into words
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas
The upcoming holiday cheer
It may mean the closing of summer
Or the nearing end of another year
No matter what the reason
We have cause to remember September

September – by Hilaire Belloc
Lo! a ripe sheaf of many golden days
Gleaned by the year in autumn’s harvest ways,
With here and there, blood-tinted as an ember,
Some crimson poppy of a late delight
Atoning in its splendor for the flight
Of summer blooms and joys
This is September.
