The final rose of summer bares her heart
as petals open wide towards the sun.
A chill is in the air as birds depart
for warmer shores where spring has just begun.
A sadness fills my soul when summer's done
and robins leave behind an empty nest.
But watching chipmunks hoarding can be fun ~
reminding me that Nature needs to rest.
The golden threads of memories we've spun
throughout the seasons cannot be undone.
