Forever In Your Heart

Outside the gate,
my feet did trod,
walking upon murky
sod,

No greener grass found,
no grass at all,
just rocks and gravel,
upon hard ground.

Poking and proding,
thorns and thistles,
sticking, hurting,
cursing.

Evils fear came,
trembling I ran,
blood freezeing veins,
back to the gate,


Where home welcomed,
senses were restored,
the gate, I locked,
threw away the key.

What I have,
is what I need,
soft green grass,

a loving comfort,
beneath my feet.


J. M. Barrie, the playwright, may have said it best when he wrote, “God gave us memories so that we might have roses in December.”

The above has me dreamin' of hearth and 'home' and the wafting green-soft images of Spring
.....even though, of course, we can never truly go home again...and all that!....thank God
cold, hard 'Reality' is only for those who lack 'imagination'!
