Benches

Benches

Benches to sit
Benches to gaze
Benches to while 
Good days away

Benches that sway 
Benches that swing 
Benches for playing 
Songs that we’ll sing

Benches to feed
Benches to eat
Benches for resting
Our tender feet

Benches for writing 
Benches for reading
Benches to dream on
Ways of succeeding

Benches with scenes
Benches at sea
Benches to witness
High tides recede

Benches for watching
Benches for greetings
Benches for having
Those lunchtime meetings

Benches for people
Benches for dogs
Benches of comfort
For long hours logged

Benches for holding
Benches for hugging 
Benches for kissing
Ones that we’re loving

Benches are metal 
Or could be wood
But one things for certain 
Benches are good
