A Local Park I Walked

A local park i walked
Just the other day
Surrounded by nature
In the snow kids played

I felt a feeling of joy
In this incredible grounds
This park of beauty
In a modern concrete surround

Nature in standing
In her winter stage
All the beautiful plants
Withstanding her rage

She mellows with time
As the spring appears
The winter snows melt
Is it her sorrowful tears

The buds appear
Enriched with her sun
Her vistas of bloom
Have just begun

But around the corner
Another season awaits
The golden browns of autumn
Await their fate

In the local park i walked
Just the other day
Thinking of the marvels she brings
To us, every single day

Your appreciation of this lovely park, winter or spring, is so well expressed, dear friend. Just like people, Mother Nature's gifts needs to be appreciated in order to endure. I hope you keep walking, the children keep playing and the park continues to thrive for decades to come! Thank you for sharing this beautiful walk with us. Much love, Carolyn
