Camping

We set up camp in the living room 
My daughter, wife and I
A different experience a change
Of scenery for my daughter 

School was due to start -
she had worries,
about children making her angry,
Making her sad -

Me and my wife are always there 
For her. If she climbs high and lets go
We’re here to catch her,
But for now pretending our living room
Is the wilderness is alright with me
