Our Roof Balcony

Away from the city
On a small street, in the hub of life
Sits a house complete with a roof balcony
Built on stones and memories

Overlooking the city at night                                    
Alive and full of life
The streetlights below reflecting moonlight
Never too bright, always just right

Made for sharing laughs, playing cricket, and water fights
Where we relax and have fun
Carefree, lying in the sun

A place to be ourselves
To let tears flow free
Wrapped in the warmth of the sunlight
And washed clean in the night

Our balcony, a speck in the city
So much more than just a slab of stone
The one and only in the world
Our roof balcony
A place of our own

Yes! Away from the smoke, the drunks, the noise, the drive-by shootings. We had a walk-by shooting on our block the other day - no one killed, just scared silly. Our next door neighbor is moving out, going to try and find a wonderful "roof balcony." Congrats on the selection. daver
