There is a place 6000 miles away
with friendly faces and old familiar places
and a flag waving, planted in my heart
my home

a flag waving loud,
waving bold
waving proud

with a single star
a lone star
a star of independence

and yet, I do not belong there anymore
I couldn't make a life there anymore
I couldn't take life, there, anymore
and here...

Here I have a job
I like, I love
and friends
good friends

dependable and...
and love?...

Well, lets just say
there are more possibilities this way.

These are the reasons I stay

and this city, should it pass away
should the flowers fade, and they will
should the leaves change color
and they will

Should the cold of the winter grip the heart
and it will

the warmth of Spring will come again
in this place, this land
This home, this heart I have with love...
with friends

Really great reflections Kenneth.

There's always sunshine after rain isn't there?

Great stuff!!

You are unique in your own right, and every glimpse you share tells a wonderful story.

Does my heart good to know you have found your peace.
