Autumn’s Arrival      By Rebecca Mallory 10/2/09

The sun set and night finally fell

And the momentous occasion had reached its climax

‘She’s at ten’ he said softly

‘She’s at ten!’ they all yelled and rushed in

While those left waiting were left to wait more

Some of us talked excitedly, clapping our hands

Others let out a sigh of relief, knowing the end was near

Still, others paced and could not keep still

One slept, alone on the floor

The grandpa with the furrowed brow could stand it no longer

He went quietly down the hall and listened at the door

A baby cried and he smiled with a father’s pride

The sister rushed in to announce the arrival

She was here and all went well

‘Hooray!’ we cried

Autumn has arrived
