There's a valley in New Brunswick that means the world to me. It sets the very standard of what nature ought to be. A river clear and blue, a panoramic view gentle slopes filled with trees. That valley in New Brunswick still means the world to me. There's a woman in Barker's Point that means the world to me. She is a daily vision of femininity. A mind that's clear, no open fears a blue-eued beauty queen. That woman in Barker's Point still means the world to me. There's a little boy in his bed and he means the world to me. His Mom and I watch him there as he sleeps in peace He's got her eyes and my blond hair, with looks we both can see. That little boy in his bed still means the world to me. There's a mother I must mention still means the world to me. She groomed my place in this space for all the world to see. I still love her equally now she awaits the paradise when she took her final sleep There's a mother I must mention, still means the world to me. Sadly my Mom passed away this past January 26th and I do miss her so........However, I have a heart full of the best memories a son could store up forever. Eric IF YOU HAVE TO JUDGE SOMEONE DO IT ON THE SIDE OF MERCY AND LET TIME SEASON THE RESULTS. |

I liked this, the repetition of means the world to me in each stanza was very clever! I really enjoyed reading it  Internalexile Let the moonlight paint your face, let the stars be your cloak... |
