Garden

I sit in the garden
On a bench in the shade,
Carol is in the house
And Rosy is nearby.
Warm breezes waft
The pine trees
And sage bushes,
The smell is delightful,
She walks out
Of the house and
Sits beside me
Passing me a glass
Of ice tea with lime.
I am content and
Happy to be alive
Here with her.
We look into each
Other’s eyes and smile,
We are so lucky
To face life
As a couple.
For the present,
We relax and
Breathe deep
The scents of
Pine and sage.
To linger here
Must be
Good advice.
