On the Hill
On the hill
Looked in valley below
Stood their feeling
The cool breeze blow
Sent a big chill down my spine
At the bottom of the hill
I could see kids start to climb
Decided to sit on a log
Get fire started for the night
Kept looking around
To see what's in sight
Off to a distance, I could hear
Coyotes howl out loud
They were in the field
The farmer just had plowed
A dog started running
Came towards me and growled
When she realized it was me
Lacy wagged her tail, barked loud
On the other side of me
Was a pond six feet deep
Could see a tortoise
Did nothing but creep
A doe and baby fawn
Settled in for the night
Fawn was already half asleep
So quiet, couldn't hear a peep
All of a sudden, I heard
A big huge splash
Gomer jumped in the pond
He had to take a bath
Finally, laid next to the fire
It was stoked for the night
Looked up at the sky
Moon and stars shining bright
A falling star I did see
Hopefully, that wish will come true for me
This was my favorite spot to be
When needed to think or find peace
Alone with my dogs here
Staying there I had no fear
