After work
Before it gets dark

Choose a friend, the best you can
Don your comfy shoes, shades and hat

Enjoy the birds singing melodious tunes and
Flowers celebrating in clustering blooms

Go and hang out your thoughts and dreams
Hatch ideas, plans and possibilities
In preparation for future realities

Just know that walking with a friend is good for your soul
Killing fat cells and bad cholestral

Leisure is best in natural surroundings
Make walking in the park a promise you must keep
Not once in a while but as often as you can meet

Open your eyes and observe with your mind and heart
Pick a topic of interest and work your jaw muscles hard
Quieten down when you see a spider, squirrel or bird
Rest when your heart tells you to and your legs are tired

Sing the familiar songs of your teenage years and when you have finished
Talking about life's ironies and your fair share of happiness
Utter nonsense, share a joke and have a hearty good laugh together
Vary the routes you walk, walking sideways, backwards or upside down if possible

Whistle to the birds calling out to each other 
X number of trees away for they might sometimes mistake
You for their partner asking whether dinner is ready and then it's time to
Zoom off in your vehicle to another facet of your life to your husband and kids

A much refreshed person after work, after a walk and a talk in the park...
