Thanks for inspirer
Neat Rowena Velasco
Have a so nice day
Surely youth and old days drift away with time,
However, beauty within stays and much more
Than appearance people see coming along.
Inspired by the so lovely dear poetess Rowena Velasco!

[To the city of Freeport Texas]
Near diamond shaped
and backyard small,
a park that’s barely wider
than the trees it holds are tall.
Where a warm gulf breeze rattles
sleeping Palm-tree leaves
composing a feral music
filling ears with restful peace.
A gazebo just off center
beckons without words to say,
caring for its sitters
shade from a hot sun's ray.
Where I sit in noisy silence
from cars passing by
enjoying tunes from wood birds
like a love struck, male Magpie.
A testament to city workers
the grass there neatly mowed,
the hedges forever trimmed
their care and hard work shows.
So I offered up a prayer
(Interrupted by a Lark)
God grant a grace of hours here
at Velasco Riverside Park.
