A Southern Sky Welcome Poem by Ronni ManoaHofbauer

As autumn whispers to the Southern land,
Two days before the equinox's sway,
Twin stars descended, by celestial hand,
To Mercy's house, on this Australian day.

The skies above, a cosmic masterpiece,
Mars and Saturn in retrograde dance,
While Jupiter, with slow and steady ease,
In northern dawn, took its predawn stance.

A crescent moon, so thin and bright,
Joined Venus and swift Mercury,
As Deneb and Altair took flight,
Painting the dusk with starry glee.

The sun, marching across the blue,
Neared Earth's great middle line,
As summer's warmth bid its adieu,
And autumn leaves prepared to shine.

In this grand celestial game,
Two Piscean souls made their debut,
March eighteenth - remember the date,
When my twin grandsons came to me.

At Mercy Hospital, crisp air swirled,
A gentle breeze, with autumn's embrace,
As heaven and earth together twirled,
Welcoming twins with cosmic grace.

How majestic, this special day,
When two became my shining lights,
March 20,2018, we say,
The stars aligned for my delights.

In the land down under, leaves turn gold,
As your new chapter now unfolds.
Two precious lives, a joy to behold,
Under the Southern Cross, their story told.
