Boomer Life’s A Breeze

A Boomer Poem, inspired by Summer Breeze, by Seals & Crofts, 1972
How I love it, hangin’ by the window
In the A/C on those summer nights
I see the full moon shining through the window
Unobstructed, it’s so bright
Life’s a breeze, and I feel fine
With this carefree lifestyle that’s all mine
Life’s a breeze, livin’ is fine
Luxury features that I helped design
See the neighbors waving from the sidewalk
As I plant some flowers on my front porch
Invite neighbors to come on up and join me
Conversation with lemonade we pour.
Life’s a breeze, feelin’ so fine
With this carefree lifestyle that’s all mine
Life’s a breeze, livin’ is fine
We left landscape maintenance behind
Throughout this summer
My courtyard’s in bloom
Cicadas abound and they’re buzzing their tune
I love my home, where my neighbors are friends
And we gather here, not a care in the world
Smile as we pour wine in the kitchen
As our dinner sizzles on the grill
Doesn’t matter how long we have lived here
Coming home always brings a little thrill
Life’s a breeze, neighbors are kind
Enjoying this lifestyle all the time
Life’s a breeze, as new friends we find
It’s easy to relax and unwind
Waking up, joy fills my days
As I pursue long dreamed-of activities
Life is good in so many ways
Welcome to Windsong, Where Life’s A Breeze!
