The land we bought for our first home.
We chose for the beauty, never more to roam.
Picnics by the pond, just you and me.
We added a home, for the little one we planed.
Hopes and dreams we like everyone who loves.
Babies came with lots of love.
One would hardly know the place now.
The house and barn, and the animals about.
The kids they had to have their own hide-out.
Well that was many years ago.
One of the kids own the house now.
We live in one of those villages, I just cuss.
We are too young for this old-people stuff.
I want the country air again.
We want slip again down to swim in the cool pond.

Geez, not even my memories and it took me down memory lane. Oh, how I miss the countryside, the mountains, and air that isn't infested with a million tourists a week visiting Disney. Love the imagery in your writing, and once again, brought a smile.

Good Morning Mac
A wonderful poem Mac. We all long to go back to when the kids were young and running ariound playing outside in the fresh air. Now they sit in front of the TV playing video games. They don't know the fun they are missing. Thank you for this lovely poem. It brings a smile as I remember many good times. Take care.
Hugs and Smiles,
Sandy

I want to slide down to the pond too. What a beautiful place to live. I always loved the country. We had a lot of it where I lived as a kid.
