Back Porch

Wee ones up to bat
In the park near my backyard.
Older folks hold hands
As they cheer their children on.
From my porch I cheer them too.

Now I am amused.
Squirrels playing hide and seek.
Competition's fierce!
Which game shall I watch today?
Kids play ball or squirrel's race!

Peaceful is my gaze.
In a nutshell,life is good.
I could sit all day.
On my porch swing,watch the world.
Till the daylight yields to dusk.
