A place you've never been I'd like to take you on a trip To a place you've never been before A place of warmth and peaceful rest And friendliness and opened doors There is a barn on gentle hills A village old with winding way And colored birds on leafy branch And blooming tulips line the way A bird of peace, a gentle dove A parrot of both red and green And other birds and other leaves And warming hearts, a place serene People's faces looking through From long ago and far away Silhouettes against the sky Delicate and fine bouquet A girl and boy gather grapes He holding her in warm embrace It is a scene of purest love A look of peace upom their face A gentle deer stands in the field A tiger looks you in the face Someone stands on wooden brige Another walks with gentle grace And music beats to waiting ear Percussion's strong and rhythmic sound Brazilian beats from Africa The strange, old instruments abound This peaceful place, it is my home The birds and leaves do grace the walls It is the art of Pennsylvania Richest folk art of them all The perfect tree in ScherenSchnitte The theorem paint on velvet back And richly colored fractur work And bright bouquet on field of black And every bird, a bird in hand A special meaning to each one Wishes for tranquility Peace and love and happy home The barn is water color art The village, too, by running stream The places that I know so well The local artist's painted scene Currier and Ives most lovely print "Young William and Mary" gather grapes Paintings in reverse on glass And maps of old from other age Sketch of deer by artist son Modern paintings from Brazil Colored colors fill my life And give my heart a daily thrill Now you've toured my home with me On walls of white the colored art No matter where I'd ever live The colorful would be a part P.S. But wait, there is still much more Next time we'll do the second floor Elizabeth Santos |

Thank you for taking me on this majestic tour of your first floor gallery. This brought back memories of a movie, "What Dreams May Come". Our life through art is greatly enriched. ------------------ Once I was brilliant, now I no longer shine, but the twinkle in my eye speaks of another time. |

Shoo-fly pie I'll pass on by I find it just a bit too dry But milk with cake sounds very good I'd come right now, yes, if I could Rebecca, too, would fit right in She'll bring some cheescake in a tin And Marge can catch a flight I'm sure We'll all converge upon your door In fact I'll bet that ev'ryone Would like to join us for the fun And take a tour of your house grand The best in Pennsylvania Land! ------------------ Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 11-29-1999).] |
