My Backyard

Submitted by EmmaAspell on December 14, 2007 - 12:43.

I look out my window
And what do I see?
A world unknown
To others but me

I make my journey
To the outside
The place that I love
Far and wide

So much to see
In so little time
Watching the clock
Before I climb

I start my journey
All the way to the top
It’s a long, hard climb
Until I stop

I reach the top
Finally I am there
I look around
With no time to spare

Walking down the hill
The hike is no longer hard
I wish I was always there
In my backyard
