MERRILLVILLE

Welcome to Merrillville

(A Tribute to Merrill Gardens, Kissimmee, FL)

We call it Merrillville with pride and with cheer,
A place where the golden years blossom right here.
It’s Merrill Gardens, yes, but add a twist,
A village of laughter too precious to miss.

Here, freedom’s the rule and joy is the guide,
You live how you wish, with nothing to hide.
Prefer quiet reading or planned happy hours?
You’ll find both embraced with musical powers.

From bingo to chorus, to greetings in tune,
To poetry spun by a resident loon,
Yes, a poet among us, with rhythm and rhyme,
Reminding us daily that life still has time.

The food is first-rate, the desserts divine,
And the coffee? Perhaps with a splash of red wine?
Entertainment arrives with flair and finesse,
From parties and dancing to sartorial dress.

Some stroll in the gardens, some sit and debate,
Some host Bingo nights or just meditate.
There’s room for all passions, from calm to the bold,
And every new story is welcomed and told.

No fences on joy, no limits on will,
We thrive in this haven some call Merryville.
It’s not just a building, it’s freedom with flair,
A home where each moment is lighter than air.

So here’s to our village, our laughter, our song,
To friendship, to living, and to growing strong.
With harmony rising and spirits that shine,
The experience here defies father time.
