Dragonfly's Rest

A paradise is what enters my mind
When I reflect upon my dear estate

A soft bed and breakfast it imitates
Warm, cozy, and filled with precious antiques

Named for the turquoise dragonflies we love
But they are not the only residents

There are chipmunks that live in the woodpile
Douglas squirrels bark for their daily snack

The wise old Bared owls ever on the watch
The black tailed deer graze quietly at dawn

Bald eagles ever soaring overhead
Bigfoot occasionally visiting 

Your lush green lawns and colorful flowers
Towering furs wall your perimeter

A warm fireplace in the winter for heat
A cool pergola in the summer months

Listening to birds and the wind through the trees
The wind chimes and the lone coyote howl

Barbecue slow cooking country styled ribs
Sipping a cool martini and dreaming

God has blessed me and my dear lovely wife
With a cottage and a wonderful life
