A Moment of Pure Reflection

Missing image

 

I once was lost, and I cannot deny

it took many years of questioning "Why?"

Why did I leave country roads back home,

the feeling of warmth where I belong,

and sunshine, trees, grass and streams,

where determination is the dawn of dreams,

with faith that everything is as it seems,

where awareness is knowing what it is to be real,

and the innate wisdom that love can heal,

where morals rule and men are heroic,

women have respect and everyone knows it,

where I know who I am and right from wrong;

the place where I know I really belong...

 

 

Author notes

Pure realization there's no place like home.

      THANK YOU!!

      I really appreciate the silver cup!!! I'm so glad someone out there recognizes the true value of exactly what is "back home" where we all belong. Thanks again!!! Peace, Cyn
