A Quiet Life
I like living a quiet life
in a city that is small.
I don't like the busy life
where the buildings stand so tall.
I like a yard with trees
and many different kinds of flowers.
I like spending my time outside
instead of sitting inside for hours.
I like working in the yard
and hearing cows that moo nearby.
I like watching the hummingbirds drink
and then flying away so high.
I wasn't meant to stay indoors
doing little or nothing at all.
I was meant to feel the breeze
that blows outdoors each fall.
I like watching the roses bloom
and this I would not trade.
A quiet life is my desire
and it's one that God Ok'd.
