Country Door
Beauty of the house out in the country
Exceeds that of normal Earthly bounty
The sky, a yellow hue, brings the reds in
Having light produce warmth onto our skin
The fields are plentiful, a lovely green
Where the best flowers grow, they can be seen
There’s a dirt path that leads in a forest
That will bring you to a stream that’s grandest
The driveway winds around trees through the yard
The ground at times can surely be quite hard
The pond houses many beautiful fish
On the porch we eat ice cream in a dish
We have gardens of healthy vegetables
Plus those of fruit trees and vines in bundles
Flowers adorn the sides of the farm house
The front door is red and invites my spouse
Our house in the country is full of life
Showing nothing that brings a lot of strife
I feel at home more here than anywhere
There is a peace here, an aura of care
