Country Side Gorgeous Kind of Place

Beautiful town, away from the pace
Countryside gorgeous, 
With enough azure water for everyone

People know each other’s problems, secrets, and sins.
They give thousands of chances, uplifting and praying.
It is the kind of place they could have filmed Father Knows Best.

I am fearful of such a town.
It is difficult to be miserable and down.
Impossible actually.

Come on! My husband says. Grab a fishing pole. Let’s go.
An enormous smile cracks my face; I am home.
My grandparents’ used to live here.  I begin to laugh.

It feels good to find myself again,
deep in the country. 
I had been holding on to my sadness way too long.
