A Boomer Poem, inspired by Willie Nelson’s Cold November Wind
A cold November wind
Can cut right through your soul
Even leaves all hide away
From the wind November blows
Shelter from the wind
Requires more than just four walls
A place that warms the heart
Home is what it’s called
A cold November wind
But I’ve a fire burning bright
And a book upon my lap
By the window’s ample light
In the kitchen I prepare
Food that fills me with delight
To my bedroom I retire
Tucked in warm and safe all night
Despite the cold November wind
I let the dog go run outside
In my private courtyard space
Where my summer garden thrived
The garage has lots of room
For both cars and storage space
My community is where
I easily travel anyplace
Guests have their own bed and bath
When they want to come and stay
And there is so much to do and see
Even on cold November days
We have no fear when seasons change
And when the winter’s chill begins
Because we have a place we love
Not bothered by November winds
In this community of mine
The neighbors all agree
We were fortunate to find
Windsong, Where Life’s A Breeze.
