On my Upstairs Terrace

I feel a buzz each day at dawn

Almost mid-May and it’s warm!

People shed their winter clothes

Yes, it’s true! We’re in the throes

Of a heatwave (Belgian style);

Winter banished for a while!

 

Far be it from me to complain

But plants will wither without rain

So, watering each day is key

Flowers perk up – they love me!

I meditate on terrace chair

And let my thoughts freewheel in air!

 

There comes a time; for me it’s now

When pushing on a workday plough

No longer seems the thing to do

Retirement helps see life anew!

There’s no place I would rather be

Than on my terrace, sipping tea!
