Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

0 posted 2015-03-22 05:03 PM



I said goodbye to iced mountains and streams
I said goodbye to forty below
I said goodbye to Iditarod dreams
And left behind springs covered In snow.

Pear trees dispalay flowers bright white
Horsese and cows laze in green fields
Mountains framed by hazy blue light
Rows of red dirt offer their yield

With eyes wide open
Sharp sense are keen
Flowers are blooming
No ice to be seen

Sure, I'll miss the home of my birth
There is much to learn in this new place
Every home has its own worth
Spring days framed by blossoms of lace.

Jimmy,

Part of me will always belong up north, but change is good.

Hope you enjoy your new home Alison As we get older we need a bit more comfort and warmth even though we miss the beautiful.

Hope you are enjoying your new home, Alison.  We all miss the places we have grown comfortable with, but sometimes a change of scenery can be one of life's greatest blessings.  Hope this one is for you.

I'm going to miss the home of your birth, too.  But I will also keep the poem you wrote me.  Tat wil never, ever go away.
Love,
