Just Swinging

 

Porch Swing

At the entrance to my home, there is a covered concrete pad,

Just enough area to take shelter, when the weather is bad,

A lovely place to catch a view of the quiet street,

Where many friendly people enjoy a meet and greet,

I decided that this would be a perfect space,

To install myself a porch swing, and fully embrace,

The neighborhood I chose for my retirement years,

And hopefully meet some of my neighboring peers,

The swing that I purchased is a single-person swing,

Because of the limited area, it is the ideal thing,

 I can sit and ponder and enjoy the afternoons,

Or swing gently back and forth beneath the rising moon,

I can swing and watch the sun come up,

Or swing and sip from my favorite cup,

I can swing my entire day away,

I can just swing for no reason, and that’s okay.
