People from the rural South in the U.S. know that a lot of life takes place on a country porch. Here is a bit of poetry about a person who gets in a little "me" time on a country porch each morning. I hope you enjoy the poem.

 

My Country Porch

 

The sun sparkling on the dew

And a pleasant gentle breeze

On my country porch alone

A stolen moment of ease

 

A whiff of honeysuckle

Rides upon the crisp, clean air

And the birds serenade me

As I swing in time from my chair

 

This time on my country porch

Is the best part of my day

The world’s noise can’t drown my thoughts

Nature soothes my cares away

 

The view from my country porch

The green grass, trees, and flowers

Will de-stress me through the day

And give peace for many hours

 

As the world wakes, my time must end

That’s okay, I sigh and smile

I’ll leave my country porch for now

To return in a little while.

    Retired people who can spend lots of time on their porch probably forget to appreciate it.
