A Lazy Afternoon

I sit on my deck on this lazy afternoon watching the sun move slowly to the west The leaves are dancing on the oak tree out back from a breeze gently blowing from the south A sparrow is hopping from post to post on the old fence down by the road A little squirrel playing and running around to the top of the tree and down to the ground then I hear a whistle from a distant train And the rhythm is like music to my ears I think to myself what wonderful way to spend a beautiful lazy afternoon

Oma, enjoying the glory and beauty of nature and her creatures is a wonderful way to spend a "beautiful lazy afternoon." I float in my pool, sometimes for hours, listening to the birds and allowing my imagination to run wild. It helps inspire creative writing, doesn't it? Love this poem, Carolyn
