AUTUMN OF CHILDHOOD
Poetry by M. Linda Steffey

How I love the autumn days With sharp and chilly breeze The summer flowers nodding In the last of summer's ease;

The bright and golden dawns And the warm sun shinning bright Enormous harvest moon Sits on the shoulder of the night;

The fireflies are gone now As I gaze out on the fields That were once filled with bounty 'Fore the farmer took its' yields;

The farm of my childhood days I always loved the Fall I'd watch the Canada's flying high And my grandfather's geese would cry;

Playing in the fodder Was a wild, fun thing to do How the rooster would wake you up With his cock-a-doodle-do!

Sitting in the porch swing Listening to my grandma sing The smells of her pies baking And the dinner bell would ring!

The hooting of the horned owl Those autumn days of old The memories of my childhood My mind will always hold....
