My Backyard

After a stressful day at school, I sit there,

In my backyard,

The place where I can just sit there and relax. 

Watching the birds fly calmly in the air,

I hear the kangaroo gently bouncing by, I can see the trees swaying in the afternoon breeze.

This makes me relaxed and calm. 

I go back inside to grab a book and picnic blanket.

As I relax on the grass on a picnic blanket reading a book,

The sun starts to set, turning the sky to dusk.

This makes me even more relaxed,

As the sun sets deeper, I sit deeper into the picnic blanket,

Calm and relaxed, no one is annoying me.

I lay there getting sleepy,

Thinking I should probably go to bed soon.

I wake up still in the backyard, the sun is slowly rising,

The kangaroos are gently passing by,

The birds flying calmly in the air.

The morning breeze making the trees sway ever so slightly.

This is my happy place.
