Backyard

by:  Me

I love the trees of our back yard

They stand so tall and strong.

Offering shade and rest complete.

They call me, “Come sit down!”

I hear the breeze dance off the leaves

and see the sun shine through.

How can I resist the call to come;

but there’s so much to do.

My list, how long it’s grown through time

that Rest I’ve long ignored.

I think I’ll stand and gaze

a while and feel the touch of breeze.

For fully resting seems so far

I cannot with great ease.

Who will ever check my list?

Each task making sure is done?

Maybe this once, my list can wait!

C’mon let’s have some fun!
