Aged rose bushes and lilac trees
Scent of yesterday
Up against an old farm house
Lining the pathway round
Old doors scarred from years of the openings and closings
Single pane windows
Screams of glee
You hear outside
Grasses growing tall
Endless fields of green
Rope swings
And a tall stately tree
Chickens clucking happy
Rooster crowing proud
Goats calling wistfully
Birds dancing at twilight
Long quiet roads
Framed by Queen Anne's Lace
And trickling creek
Perfect for bike rides
Blackberries and wild roses
Split rail fence
Quiet nicker of a horse
Hands edged with dirt
Gum boots and shovels
Wheel barrows and water buckets
Strong arms and tired legs
Peas fresh off the vine
A bonnet with braids
Cow boy boots and a dress from grandma
Sun tanned noses
Hearty appetites
Endless energy to run
Chores that bring satisfaction to the heart
Sheep to nuzzle
Kittens to snuggle
Woodland fairies, forts and hideaways
Grasshoppers and frogs for friends
Shell of robins egg
Arms full of clover
Toes dust caked
Hair tangled with fun
Eyes shining and sparkling
Body refreshed from play
Tree climbing and hay hauling,
Horse riding and friends calling
Hours in the air
Wildly free
Delight
