SaddleBrooke Stroll

We live in an active adult community, SaddleBrooke…

All the things there are to do here could fill a scrapbook:

golf, tennis, swimming—whatever exercise you like best—

and there’s a social club for just about any interest!

But all of these activities obscure its main appeal,

and a slow walk around the grounds can make it real.

Give it a try and you’ll discover it’s good for your soul,

appreciating what we have is what this is all about!

but they won’t exist in your reverie and here’s why:

You’ll be too busy witnessing the bobcat and deer,

along with the javelina and quail, they’re all here.

This may be the perfect time to talk with your Maker,

as you traverse acre after beautiful acre.

Everyone has an answer as to what makes them whole—

but give a part of it to the SaddleBrooke stroll.
