Fall

It’s fall once again with the kids back in school 

The leaves will be falling as that is the rule 

But first they show off all their colours so bright 

In our neighbourhood that makes our fall just right 

For winter with snow storms is coming once more 

When fall has arrived it knocks at our door

Snow covers our sidewalks and piles on our cars

So love this fall time it’s much better by far 

The trees are preparing to take a long rest 

The green leaves of summer have changed for the best 

The branches of trees will be bare by and by 

Silhouettes reaching upwards to scratch the dark sky

Yes fall is a time we look forward to change 

Our schedule is something that we rearrange 

When outside work is finished again

And time on the inside will finally reign

Our summer is past and winter’s not here

There’s family times coming that fill us with cheer 

There’s bright leaves in colours of crimson and gold 

My friend my short story of fall has been told
