Summer Bliss
Only on his veranda does he feel like the king of his castle
No better place to put up his feet and take stock
Much gratitude swells when he sits back with contentment
Years of dedication behind him, of planning and hard work
Voluptuous dreams both come true and anticipated
Enraptured in reverie that nurtures peace of mind
Recognizing a moment that’s wrapped in perfection
Adventurous conquests in harmony with life’s snags and hurdles
Nowhere more than on his veranda does bliss seem timeless
Daring not to challenge the ephemeral balance of prosperity
Affluence by any other name in a great country of opportunity
