A Boomer Poem for 4th of July

inspired by America the Beautiful, as performed by Ray Charles

Oh beautiful summer afternoon

Enjoying life outside

I love my home, and every room

Is perfectly my style

How fortunate, how wonderful

This place I can call mine

My life’s success is happiness

A joyful life defined.

From the first time I stepped inside

Rooms filled with natural light

A kitchen large and owner’s suite-

This place brought me delight

So beautiful, this perfect home

Where I can live my dream

Folks with similar experiences

Are neighbors now to me!

July the Fourth we celebrate

Two hundred forty-four years

It’s different now, this time around

Apart from those we hold dear

But we can talk across the street

Enjoying a life of ease

We celebrate the lives we have

At Windsong – Where Life’s A Breeze!
