Active Adults Celebrate Spring

Posted: April, 5, 2021 | Categories: Poems

 

April showers early came

Dousing us most of the days in March

Flowers blooming, pollen in the air

Longer days, fewer hours in the dark.

 

Georgia spring is short-lived

A blink ‘tween winter dull and summer heat

But we smile and stretch and come back to life

In that moment when the extreme seasons meet.

 

Head outside, enjoy the days

Of preparing flower pots and garden beds

And for the thrill when we first discover

Plants, through soil poking bright-green heads.

 

Start afresh with springtime

There’s something invigorating about spring cleaning

Redecorating, throwing back the drapes

Appreciation for our abundance has new meaning.

 

April is when things begin

When Farmer’s Markets return to village squares

We walk outside, soaking in the sunshine

We’re healthier, with exercise and fresh fare.

 

New friends to be made

As strolling down the street is fun once more

Looking forward to a chance to soak in sunshine

And greet neighbors as they walk outside their door.

 

We’re happy when we’re home

Exploring our own street and communities

It’s part of what we celebrate when we say:

Welcome to Windsong – Where Life’s A Breeze!
