~Needs a little help~ < !signature-->Never felt at home. I have never felt at home before in any of the towns I've been. I have always been ready to pack it up before I had even settled in. I was born with a wandering heart. I can't stay in one place too long. My mind starts to get that restless feel and my soul hears a travelin' song. I have seen every one of Colorado's peaks and their beauty I could never tell. I have seen the wonder of Arizona and from the edge of its canyon did yell. I've crossed the border into Mexico and drank tequila on the beach at night. Though it seemed very close to Paradise I had to leave before the morning light. All those lonely years I searched for a haven from all life's harms. I have never felt at home before 'til I found myself in your arms. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- [This message has been edited by Tennessee Angel (edited 07-04-2000).] |

This is a great poem! LOL, and being from the south, I'd have to say, it had to be the man who convinced you to stay! Just kidding! Truly a beautiful and touching piece. Leigh Anne~~~ To be a mother is to accept your heart will forever walk outside your own body!" |

Wow! Y'all are too kind. I've made it a book submission like you asked. I haven't submitted any because my poetry is no where near the level of others here, but it is truly an honor that some think it is. This was a very fun one to write and I'm glad that you all enjoyed it. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |
