I smile.

 

I lay in the cold morning rain.

The grass tickles my back.

The cool air kisses my face.

I look up at the ocean-like sky.

I pick at the clovers beneath my hand.

I smile.

 

In this yard I feel no pain

Happiness sure is something I lack.

I watch two ants they look as if they are in a race

I watch as birds fly.

Oh, how I love this land.

I smile.
