Poem
I have walked here before sometime ago The visions are clear and in vivid color As if it has been only hours or so That I was here for the first time But I was very young then you know Spring was rubbing away winters sleep Warmth brought life to dormant seeds Shades of gray turning green As sounds of life woke silent dreams And a new world took stage before me Like from a deep dream I awoke Suddenly came true and I was really me In a real place so big too far to see Horizons beyond those beyond those Too far and big for a child to be Growing beside my country friends Hiding from them in tall corn Until I too was enough tall to see Beyond this grand place where I was born I wandered there beyond beyond Oh look ! what magic nature brings By sight I drank in wondrous things I soared in skies and felt the wind Heard the aria the warbler sings Climbed atop the highest slopes I stopped to smell the mountain air I felt the peaceful calm found there Then sailed away the sea to dare That world a place apart from land Beckoned me to step from shore And cross again beyond beyond Waiting there for more and more Oh life precious life endured This chance that I have won Given by cold death deferred I must someday pass it on I will walk there again alone And close my eyes to be Back there where I was born When I was very young you see
