Wind whispering through the trees
Oleanders swaying in the breeze
Birds flying through the air...
Suddenly Spring is everywhere.
People greeting each other on the sidewalk.
Inside a few are sitting together to talk.
Some watching television in their rooms
While others sit and watch the flowers in bloom.
Sand and surf are only a few yards away.
Outside it is such an awe-inspiring day
Bathed in the glorious light of the sun
No clouds in the sky - not a one!
Birds perched swaying on an electric wire
Sunlight shining bright as a glowing fire.
When the sun sets and the clock strikes eight
The nurses comes over to meditate.
The dishes are done, the table is set.
Don't get too happy-there's more to do yet.
I must take out the trash; mop the kitchen floor;
Take a last walk around and lock up the doors.
