Home

Twenty-five miles east from town

Lies a ranch, which is my home.

With cows and sheep and goats all around,

There is plenty of room to roam.



It is fun, but sometimes I feel alone.

See, there are no other children around

Which means I have to have fun on my own

Which is really easy, I've found.



You can see lots of deer

Except during the big hunt,

Which doesn't seem clear,

Maybe Gods being blunt.



What I see most

Are nothing but does

Fencepost to fencepost,

Nose to nose.



I have five fun-loving pets

That smile from ear to ear.

Except when they go to the vet's

Which is only about once a year.



Three wild cats hang out here

And I think they need a home.

I'm sure they come from far and near

And are lost and all alone.



I know one day I'll move away.

My heart will moan and groan.

You see, I'll always want to stay

In this place that I call home.

I wrote this poem when I was in the 7th grade.  Now that I'm a senior fixing to graduate, I understand how true this poem really is.
