Quiet footsteps one and onward
There I touched my land and pride
Left my footprints and possessions
Walked with peace and love inside  

Then the land it called as children
Please do stop and spend your time
So I sat upon this heaven
On a land that then was mine

The spirit was consoled and happy
Life was true, a treat of bliss
Mind not closed to stress or hardship
Moment’s touch, and beauties kiss

Free of what some call possessions
Free of debt, the weekly grind
Loving life and too each moment
Finding what the lucky find

So here I live for every moment
Finding what I dream comes true
Sharing joy that comes from living
Finding more each day to do

such freedom you speak of...gives me hope for the future in reminding me of the past

I've felt it once before, when I left for Kansas

awesome write, my friend...one for the library for sure!

Rick

We can not reclaim the past
And the future is not ours
We really only have this moment.

What a fine way to spend it.
