Friends At the Park

Spring has most certainly sprung with the coolest little breeze,
Outdoor time daily has made the mind and body rest in ease,
Swings and meeting other great ladies are healing for you,
Friendship building with two women are in the works too.

I bumped into a friend at the local corner park earlier today,
She said "my goodness" extreme weight loss has come your way,"
We had not seen each other since last summer, last year,
"Never thought I would be a 9.5" I said and smiled with a cheer.

We exchanged numbers and made a coming up future plan,
She has some clothes to give to me as quickly as she can,
Now that I am her size she wants to pass these things along,
A great day at the park with what I call a new friendship song.

** ode to the local parks throughout our cities,
you can meet new friends for socialization.

Dawn, Nice upbeat poem! Nice to hear you enjoyed the park, too. Monkey-girl chased two ducks enjoying a puddle, and I chased monkey-girl BEFORE she got into the puddle. I would love to read a poem written about "cherry-cheeks"! Looking forward to chatting- lots to talk about.
