Celebrating Home - A Windsong Original Poem

Home is where the heart is

And we feel it pitter-pat

When the front door is opened

And friends are on the welcome mat.

Acrostic Reasons to Choose Windsong

Windsong was founded 20 years ago with the idea that purchasing a new home to address life changes (empty nest, retirement, desire to travel instead of take care of the yard…) should not affect the quality and luxury features that these home buyers had enjoyed while working and raising a family.

Oh, the Places Boomers Will Go!

In celebration of Dr. Theodore Geisel’s (aka Dr Seuss) birthday today!

Theodore Geisel (born in 1904)

Penned 60 books (or a few less, or more)

Over his long lifetime his fame is documented

With stories featuring words he invented

Cared-For Heart

Who complains about this shortest month?

The weather unpredictable

One holiday, celebrating love

Once broken, is it fixable?

Romantic love, a love of friends,

Boomers Plan for Springtime

If you live in Georgia, you’ve likely seen – and relate to – the cartoon about dressing for the weather in one winter week:  Sunday, short sleeves; Monday, sweatshirt; Tuesday, winter coat; Wednesday, shorts & flip-flops; Thursday, t-shirt and jeans; Friday, swimwear; Saturday, layers with scarf and hat.

We may complain a bit about the summer heat, but at least we know how to dress when it isn’t winter!

Time Flies When Boomers Are Having Fun

Can you believe it’s already December

What happened to the rest of 2022?

So quickly they flew – January through November

But that’s just what happens when you enjoy what you do.

A Few of a Boomer’s Life-altering Things

I looked around one day and I discovered

Rooms I used rarely were drab and dust-covered

Kids had moved out, my home’s too big for me

This was the first of life-altering things.

It’s September, and Boomers Have Reasons to Smile

A Windsong Original poem

Fresh-brewed coffee in a great big mug

Its scent envelops me like an aromatic hug

The sunrise through the windows gives my heart a tug

I have so many reasons to smile.

Wide, welcoming courtyard entices me outside

Blooms on every one of the new plants I’ve tried

I take in their beauty and happily sigh

I have so many reasons to smile.

Boomers Chill on a Midsummer’s Day

A Boomer Poem, inspired by A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky, by Lewis Carroll

Scorching pavement beneath a sunny sky

Sipping lemonade on a shady porch

One afternoon in late July.

February Made Us Shiver

A Boomer Poem, inspired by American Pie, by Don McLean

A long, long time ago

I can still remember when doing yard work made me smile

But I knew if I had the chance

I could use that time to dance

Or maybe nap in the courtyard for a while
