I was in half daze of haze
sleepy slumber eyes,
startled by phones ring.

"Hello", I said.
One word was heard,
         a smile crept in
from the warmth of need
fulfilled.

"I just called to let you know
that this is where we're at
and where we've yet to go."

We talked, and laughed
amidst many "I miss you's"
and then,
"So now do you know where I'm at?"

"Well yes, I do! But the question is
do you know too?"

"Well there are two places..."
your voice trailed...
and I could feel the twinkle
in your eyes
as I grinned..

"Really, two? Then please tell me
just where are you?"

"A little town called Hopewell,
tomorrow we start....
but always.........
                  {always}
I'm there      in your heart."

I could have flooded a river
with the flow of my tears,
I have never felt you so far,
                 yet so near...

Finally, you understand.


It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...
{Trace Adkins}

Isn't communication just the best?
When everyone not only knows where they are...
but where they belong!

Popping in to say thank you all so very much. It's the busy time of month at work again and time is limited, wish I could be here more. Hugs to all and peace!
