September marks the 3/4 point of the year;

The September of our lives is similar, yet different.

September is never sure whether it is Summer of Fall.

We, too, are confused:

Are we old… or just getting older?

Whatever, September suggests that a lot of time has passed,

And there is a lot less time left.

September suggests that there are things to be done:

Birds think of migrating;  Animals feed voraciously to pack on weight.

As the great thinkers, however,

We are often content to just sit in the sun and ponder,

Or, maybe read a book!

While our counterparts in nature are in a hustle,

It should bother us not to let Fall projects turn into Spring projects.

September is a month to be enjoyed;

Worry not about things that may go undone.

Tend only to the important stuff:

Family, friends and those in need.

What say we all enjoy this September like never before;

Who knows… we could have precious few left!
