An Audubon Hike

Our grandson wanted us to see The Audubon Preserve, With meadows, trails and trees That birds and humans all deserve. His dad and sister joined us And we took a lovely hike, The shady paths and birdsong Hard for someone not to like. We spotted dragonflies and frogs, A turtle on a rock And lots of birds on branches, Just the perfect place to flock. We loved to be a part of Such a pleasant afternoon And hope to check out other trails, All happy, very soon.

Your end rhymes are so well done; you are a natural poet and probably a songwriter "We spotted dragonflies and frogs, A turtle on a rock And lots of birds on branches, Just the perfect place to flock." I am singing this now.

As a boy walking on woodland paths and trails was always a special thing to do. So much to see, so much to learn, so much to discover. Behind the housing complex whee I live there's a little uphill trail that leads to the garden I used to till when I first moved in. It's still there but I can longer do gardening. Even so, I still take the short walk filled with gardening memories. / Maurice

I used to hike all the time and miss it very much. My knees can no longer handle climbing or long walks. Your poem extols the beauty of nature. Blessings xxoo

"Happy Trails to You" per Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. You can sing that to them on your next adventure! Aloha!

Wonderful. I'm so happy you had this adventure with your grandson, his dad and sister. He must be a fine discerning young lad, Ilene, as he is growing up with an appreciation for nature. Thanks for sharing it with us. Good writing!

That sounds like such a wonderful family thing to do. The kind of afternoon that makes memories to hold on to. Lovely, Ilene.
