1. Within all the clusters of homes where I've been,

although many areas are so neat and trim,

with houses quite fancy and very ornate,

I feel the most CHARMING of all is Pinegate.

Our family has lived there for many a year.

Our neighbors and friends 
have all grown very dear.

They have lovely children and house pets galore.

We also have access to every store.

2. The HOMES are all colored in various shades

that lift up your spirits in delightful ways.

I love picturing cozy quaint scenes inside,

like bacon and eggs on the stove being fried,

or warm fires crackling ablaze in the hearths,

with fresh pastries baking, like cookies and tarts.

Enticing aromas bring pleasure and joy,

while children all play with a favorite toy.

3. In WINTERTIME when snowflakes begin to fall

and cover the fir trees so graceful and tall,

the homes are all nestled so snuggly warm,

attracting the wildlife with unspoken charm.
Little birds chirping and gentlest deer,

with squirrels and chipmunks 
all scamper quite near.

Happily nibbling their nuts and their seeds,

the neighbors just love catering to their needs.

4. Autumn is lovely with leaves drifting down 
in myriad colors that cover the ground.
After the sun melts the wintertime snow,
the beautiful flowers in springtime all grow.
When SUMMERTIME weather is finally here,

It's always a favorite time of the year!

5. Picnics and meals are part of the fun,
served in the backyard with filtering sun.
Hot dogs and hamburgers cooked on the grill
and barbecued spareribs are part of the thrill.
These are all reasons I feel truly blest,
experiencing joy, CONTENTMENT, and rest,

and why I so gratefully appreciate

our charming and welcoming homes in Pinegate!
