My Home

My home

Plenty of space
Everywhere
Inside and outside
For everyone
PLUS
Outdoor animal friends:
Mr. Turkey, Mrs. Deer
Mrs. Butterfly, Mr. Cardinal
Mrs. Goldfinch, Mr. Bee
Secret space
In the tree fort hideout
Everything’s quiet
Only broken by:
The whir of cars on Capital Drive,
Birds chirping, birds singing,
Breezes blowing to cool me down
My house is happy
Peace is kept
My house is sad
Fighting breaks out
The pool
Just for having summer parties
Beautiful, wonderful, clear blue water
All would be lost if we moved
