My House

My house is a special place
full of love and many surprises.

I can see…
A cream and white concrete house with beautiful green grass,
four fabulous people playing sport in the yard and Dad throws a great pass.
a little sister having a delicious lunch,
children playing in the cubby house surrounded by leaves ‘crunch, crunch, crunch’.

I can hear…
Thumping around in the washing machine are our clothes,
my dad telling my family jokes wherever he goes.
Rustling in the green leaved bushes are our next-door neighbour’s cats,
‘whoosh!’ every night we go outside to watch the young black bats.

I can feel…
The breeze though the opening door and the swaying of the bamboo,
the rumble of my tummy when I am starving for food to chew.
As safe as a koala in a tree when I am with my family,
cuddles from mum with her soft skin when it is just her and me.

My house is a home that lets
me feel safe, happy and experience incredible times.
