My Home in Nature

The river, pure as gold,
Breeze in the air,
Sitting under the tree makes me sleepy.
Birds in the air as colourful as a rainbow…
I saw the lizard, while I was on the jetty.
Leaf of a gum tree - smelled sour like a candy,
Muddy soil on the ground, a perfect place to dig for food.
On the river bank. A lizard lying,
liking the sun on its back.
My heart becomes happy
as I see the lush bush
like I was in heaven.
