Here In Our Windsong Home - A Boomer Poem

Posted: September, 29, 2020|Categories: Poems

 

(inspired by “Our Little Town,” by Simon & Garfunkel, 1970)

 

In our neighborhood

We find comfort in knowing

We have so much life in common

And we can lean on each other

In joy and pain and through it all

We chose each other, after all.

 

Driving home down the street

Waving and smiling to the neighbors we see

Walking the dog

Chatting as we pick up our mail

And from every window, I see beauty

And in every home resides a friend

Sharing laughter in the good times

And a helpful hand to lend

Everything’s a comfort, in our neighborhood.

 

Looking back over my life

The busy and the bustle every day

Here, I find comfort in each familiar face

A neighbor who says hello

Another who stops to talk

Sharing our thoughts and cares

With everyone who lives here

We’ve forged a community

At Windsong – Where Life’s A Breeze!
