A Litany for September

Seeing children return to school
Seeing parents pulling on sweaters at soccer games
Seeing pools with winter covers
Seeing trees morphing from green to red
Seeing the sky grow dark at six
Seeing the summer clothes going on sale
Seeing life drain from the beaches
Seeing lights due to high school football games illuminate Friday night
Seeing hay mazes built at farmer's markets
Seeing people shivering because they misjudged the weather
