The St. Joe Road The St. Joe Road's the rivers friend. It hugs the banks and every bend Presents new vistas to our eyes, Of wooded hills, cloud studded skies, Some shadowed valleys, meadows green. Of water running pure and clean. We see the little farms and they Seem cozy where they're tucked away, In coves, surrounded by high trees, Where often on the evening breeze, We hear the hoot of great-horned owls And sometimes, even coyote's howls! This is a land that shares its good With men and animals and should You ever venture on this road, You'll leave behind the daily load Of stress and problems facing you, That you must find an answer to. It is a soothing place, I find, Where I can leave the world behind And lose myself to nature's spell, Which works its magic, very well! Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Betty Lou This St. Joe Road is better than the Yellow Brick Road. I enjoyed this poem of yours as I do all of them. 'Natures Spell' is sure wonderful. I'm always 'there' with you, no matter what road you happen to be on. It is great to have you back!!! Love Isobel ox |

smooth as silk. masterful the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |
