Front Porch

Cabin fever is really kicking in and I can't wait for it to warm up so I can set outside and go walking, anything but sit inside. I've always loved sitting on the front porch, something about it is just so relaxing. This is what I came up with last night when I decided to write about a front porch throughout all of the seasons.

Front Porch

Smell the air after a rain

The return of Spring finally came

Every thing looks anew

Soon the flowers will bloom

Sitting on the front porch

I couldn't ask for more

Another warm, lazy night

Gazing at the starry sky

Listening to all the sounds

Frogs, crickets, even an owl

Sitting on the front porch

I couldn't ask for more

The leaves change hue

Red, yellow, orange too

Hear the birds sing goodbye

To other places they must fly

Sitting on the front porch

I couldn't ask for more

Now the trees are bare

Feel the cold in the air

By the fireplace I'll preside

Watching the snow fall outside

Soon I'll sit on the front porch

I'll count the days once more
