Down by the Slough


The warmth of the glorious sun warms my back as I walk along the paved path.
In the near-by rock roses, bees industriously buzz.
Songbirds chirp a cheerful melody.

I take a breath of the cool air infused with freshly cut grass and the last of the lovely lilacs.
"On your left," the bikers say.
Cooing babes and talkative tots are pushed along by attentive nannies.

Geese honk, a reminder of summers past,
of docks and boats
and Grandma's house.

The trickling of the slow-moving Slough is constant and calming.
I love my walk.
Today,
I'm happy.
