Spring Breezes

The Friday sun shone bright and bold
As spring’s sweet scent began to unfold.
Soft breezes whispered in my ear
And whispered secrets of the coming year.

As I walked beneath the budding trees
I felt my heart begin to seize.
With joy and wonder, love and glee,
For spring had stolen it from me.

The colors, sounds, and scents so sweet
Had swept me off my tired feet.
And in that moment, I did know
That spring had come, and love did grow.

So here I stand, with heart so true
In love with spring, and all its hue.
And on this Friday, I do see
That spring has come, and fallen for me.

Ode to Sanctuary

In hidden nooks and crannies found,
A marvel of design abounds.
Sensory rooms, a space to sway,
To soothe the mind in every way.
A place to feel, to see, to hear,
A refuge from the digi sphere.
With soft textiles and dim light,
A calming haven, a respite.
Tools and gadgets, oh so fine,
To stimulate and calm the mind.
Sensory play, a path to grow,
In every detail, we’ll bestow.
Let us embrace this sanctuary,
With care, creativity, and mastery.
For in these rooms, our good friends find,
A place to rest, and ease their mind.
