Country Home
A two lane highway leads me there
Through fields and farms and earth-kissed air
Through towns so small with yards so neat
Flags wave from poles down each main street
Sunshine warm upon my face
Draws me to this gentle place
Tucked back upon a wooded hill
Down a dirt road lined with daffodil
Giant oaks and hickories
Ruffle leaves into the breeze
Squirrels run and hop and scatter
Through the leaves and trees and matter
Yet calm and quiet fill my heart
Here on this land where love did start
Roots took hold and children grew
Days and months and years just flew
Old ones died and new ones came
Still this land remained the same
A place where hopes and dreams could grow
A plot of ground for seeds to sow
And though my journeys took me away
My thoughts and memories did stay
Here with those souls who touched this land
Where peace and faith and beauty stand
Waiting patiently for those who roam
To someday return and call this home.
