My Backyard

My backyard is a special one

It was seen through love and built for fun

From the tree with the rope, that gives us some shade

To the swing set in the corner where we all have played

On top of the trampoline bouncing and soaring

And out to the fence line for some serious exploring

Puppy is there, running and playing

He is growing so fast soon he’ll be weighing

More than me until a few years pass

Wow! Maybe than I can cut this grass

Mommas at her table with a big beautiful smile

She looks so happy I have to go sit for a while

I tell her I love her and she says I love you too

The way Momma looks at me I know this is true

My friends are all calling and raising a stir

I am out of my chair and look like a blur

Across the lawn in a leap and a bound

They all want to show me this bug they have found

But, before I end this story, I want you to know

That my back yard has been a great place to grow
