Spring Break Afternoon

The azaleas blushed
in the southern wind
many different shades
a beautiful blend

Underneath the old trees
whispering stories of old
come relax beside me
a new story to be told

Look upon the beauty
become part of the tale
imagination and dreams
leaning against a hay bale

Clouds passing by
soft waves can be heard
a relaxing afternoon
feeding the birds

A new aroma swirls
in the air
the wonders of barbeque
a grand affair

Dozing off
till time to eat
the cool grass is
tender to my feet

A blushing bloom falls
waking me up
leaving this serenity
blessings fill my cup
