September again

Sweet memories of past
How the old went
And the new came fast
Those things that meant
A whole new world, now, again
And again as if erased
But its smell lingered
The joy and the pain
A bit hazy as if dazed
Yet the new became suddenly sharper
Like the feel of rubber and the pencil sharpner
The new book, the new promises told
New clothes, new secrets I hold
My heart is light and my mind is fresh
My spirit pure in my new flesh.
September creeps in with sun and sand
The wind sweeps in it takes your hand
Courage and strength now more than ever
Guiding me through until the colder weather
