Sleeping Beauty

The day awakes with the beautiful sunrise, Refreshed with the early rain. Sun kissed and bright, Blessed with good weather. The sleeping beauty awakes, A beautiful day for walking and socializing. Summer blossoms on the trees, Reaching out to the sky. Rain appears on the leaves of a nearby tree, The sun shines on the spruces and pines. Flowers in a nearby garden, Beautify the day and afternoon. The kingdom awakes with pedestrians, And roller skaters coming and going. You hear the blue jays and starlings, Singing their melodic song. A scenic walk through the park, With the water lilies at the side of the pond. Wild flowers at the side of the willow tree, A walk by the conservation area. You see a friend now and then, The beautiful spruces and pines by the lake. The Canada geese by the shore, The ducks swimming in the pond. Large gold fish swimming, What a delight to be walking by the conservation area. Gardens and a bench where you could sit. Arriving home at the senior's residence. Author: Gwen von Erlach Schutz
