Lingering Lane

Let’s stroll along Lingering Lane,*

Our footsteps the sweetest refrain.

No reason to hurry

For stresses and worry

Are never allowed, nor is pain.

 

The birds are a’chirp in the trees.

There’s always the gentlest breeze.

The flowers are blooming,

Their petals perfuming

The air, but not causing a sneeze.

 

It’s tempting to not want to leave

For to linger helps one to believe

That the paths that we choose

Will our lifetimes suffuse

With whatever we want to achieve.

 

*My 8-year-old grandson draws maps

for a hobby and Lingering Lane was one

of the streets on his latest map.
