Summer Days at Windsong

A Boomer Poem, inspired by “Saturday In the Park,” by Chicago (1972)
Summer days on our block
Already the end of July
Neighbors all stop and talk
About how fast the year’s going by.
People walking with their dogs
A man carrying mail
Heading toward his home
Everybody’s being friendly
Can you feel it? (Yes, I can!)
I’d been waiting such a long time
For these days.
Sunny days on our block
During the last week of July
Staying cool, taking walks
Before the midday sun gets too high.
People living, really loving
The Active Adult life
Looking toward the Fall
This carefree lifestyle’s changed their world
Can you feel it? (Yes, I can!)
No more waiting for a long time
For sunny days.
Slow, lazy afternoons, spent reading a good book
Breeze blows, ceiling fan goes, in your carefree courtyard nook
Listen Boomers, you love it when neighbors are friends, oh – oh – oh!
Happy days on our block
Enjoying the last week of July.
Happy days on our block
Enjoying the last week of July.
People laughing, neighbors greeting
A real celebration! Living life with ease.
We all love our life at Windsong – Where Life is a Breeze!
