It’s summer, the trees are a gorgeous green. The sky, oh how beautiful, fills my eye’s with joy. The grass, never was there a smell sweeter. I lay down, the ground so smooth, it feels like cotton. I look to the sky only to see her face starring down at me.
“How are you on this most wonderful day?” She begins the conversation.
“I am just dandy” I reply to the back of her head.
I sit up to see where she is looking, Oh what a wonderful sight! Two birds are feeding their babies in their nest high in our backyard tree.
“They are so cute! I wish i was a bird, wild, free to roam the earth singing songs. I would make people happy everyday just by being in their backyard.”
“I don’t know if i would like to be one, there are a lot of predators out there.”
“You cannot be afraid to live your life because of a predator. There are murder’s out there you know.”
“Ya i know, but i just am happy to be who i am and would not want to change who i am.”
She was always like that, pleasant to be around i mean. I lied back down and starred at the sky. All of a sudden everything started going black. I was afraid! I did not know what was happening.
I woke up sweating like a pig. That’s what i thought at least. I soon came to realize that it was just my tears. I was crying and for once i knew why. i wanted that dream to be true, I prayed for that dream to be true. But i just closed my eyes only to fall back into a nightmare…
Reality!
