The Back Porch

I love sitting on the back porch,
                             
a cool and peaceful breeze covers me.
             
In my rocking chair I will sit for hours,
                           
remembering the days gone by.
                 
Rocking for hours listening to the calm,
             
then the birds stopped by and serenaded me.
                 
Today has ended off to bed I will go,
                             
I will dream of the quiet time from the back porch
       
A new day arises,
                                                 
off to my rocking chair on the back porch.
                     
As I read my journal,
                                             
a tranquil spell covers me.
                             
I become still,
                                               
as I read about our love.
                                          
I can remember our first kiss,
                                   
a kiss that did last.
                                              
So serene it was,
                                    
young love just starting to awaken from childhood.
         
I love sitting on the back porch,
                               
a cool and relaxing breeze covers me.
