I step outside and look around
The birds are singing in the trees
I eagerly embrace the gentle breeze
Slowly, I walk away from my house
Feeling as tiny as a little mouse
I stare in wonder at the vast fields all around me
I hear my dad’s tractor far away
As I watch the farmers baling hay
I start to hum a cheerful tune
gazing up at the sky, I spot the moon
I realize it will be nighttime soon
Walking over to my pool, I gaze at the crystal clear water
I place my hands on the warm blanket, and begin splashing around
laughter enters my body without making a sound
happily, I sink to the ground
I lie in the freshly mowed grass, and breathe in the cool, crisp night air
Suddenly, I hear a noise that sounds like thunder
As a streak of lightning appears, I gaze in wonder
As I hear the dogs begin to bark, I notice the sky is becoming dark
Jumping to my feet, I quickly walk toward the house
As I reach the steps, I stop to gaze at the moon one last time
I turn around and walk inside...
