A Summer Walk
A SUMMER WALK
Dr. Jim Martin
Leaving one morning for a predawn walk,
Accompanied by no one with whom to talk.
I quickly observe the stillness in the air,
And pause to enjoy the coolness everywhere.
I briskly walk, lost in my thought,
Debating in my head those chores I had fought.
“Relaxing is this,” I hasten to say,
As I hurry along to start my day.
The neighborhood pets are beginning to wake,
I cautiously watch them, no chances to take.
They lazily watch with curious eye,
As I walk hastily, yet watchfully by.
As I get to the end of the street,
I turn around and begin my retreat.
Returning to home where my venture began,
I marvel, “How simple, yet rewarding this plan.”
I now must begin these chores anew,
And wonder if I will ever muddle through.
Tomorrow will find me all eager to retrace,
Those familiar steps which I daily face.
