Once upon a time It seems ages past In a world apart I walked a different path I spoke to the sky I danced among the trees I sang upon the rocks I reveled in Creation's glory My heart wandered free My lips kissed the sun My fingers touched the clouds My worldly bonds undone I’d lie at night in the hands of God As shadows veiled the light of day And moonbeams fluttered across my skin Sweet dreams coming to steal me away But lands of bliss, they do not last And change comes swift and true For destiny claims her given right And moves your path anew Now I walk among city men The wilds left behind But still my heart beats with joy Be it a joy of a different kind. S.A.T. |

Susan~ This is just a wonderful piece~ 'I’d lie at night in the hands of God As shadows veiled the light of day And moonbeams fluttered across my skin Sweet dreams coming to steal me away' I like the all of it~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Thanks for your kind replies. I miss often my mountain home, which we lost to fire one fateful night, but with a child, living with neighbors and schools and parks close by is a good thing. Susan  |
