Fall Wishes

When I was young waiting for school to come

pencils, sharpened erasers, and notebooks,

spending time chewing bubblegum,

girls fluttering showing off their looks.

The boys no longer fishing

as the snow comes falling down.

Some boys and girls are kissing

in this wonderful small town.

The smell of the leaves

blowing in the autumn breeze.

It is the time for long sleeves

preparing for the winter’s freeze.

The calendar is approaching the holidays;

my daughter prepares the bird.

Kids running around and getting in the way;

you can’t even hear one word.

We make the men do the dishes;

daddy carved the turkey rather well.

Humble prayers and good wishes,

this time of year is swell.
