Apples and honey, await the autumn equinox too, Full corn moon, peanut harvest, beautiful moms begin to bloom.

Earth, wind and fire, make it a September to remember. In the north, as the autumn begins and in the south, it’s spring kicking in.

It’s the end of summer, so some find it depressing, As the seasons are shifting and for few it’s bittersweet.

Obviously, since the COVID 19 leap has gone from italics to bold, we shouldn’t let it uproot us, just learn to withstand the storm.

Under this tumultuous stormy season, let us only be the thunderstorm, rolling in to have a better September, making each day worth - to remember.
