Where You Walk

After being cooped inside
Because of cold or snow,
A warmer sunny day demands
You get outside and go!

Depending on your lifestyle,
If you leave to get some air,
You choose a place to perk you up
And mosey over there.

One friend of mine adores the beach,
So she will take a drive
And hit the boardwalk for a stroll
To make her feel alive.

Another lives in warmer climes
But when she needs her space,
She hits a nature sanctuary;
That’s her go-to place.

And as for me, when I am drawn
Outside to take a walk,
I’m happiest just traipsing on
The sidewalks of New Yawk.
