Gratitude City


    Gratitude City

My car, shining beautifully in
the November sun.
Not brand new, but looks truly  
like one.
The city, itself, primarily family.
With happy sounds of chilldren,
floating so melodiously.

The many churches this city holds.
Where this generation and the
next, learns His holy word.
A sane city, neither hounded by
fear nor violence.
A perfect place for both children
and hard working parents.
Flowers and trees grow here year
round.
It's November, and not a tree,
leave less, can be found.

Soon Santa, will come down our
streets,
Riding atop a fire engine, tossing
cheering children, Christmas treats.
What a blessing to be living here!
Where friendliness reigns each day 
of each year!

The title is apt. I have lived in looney places and dreamt for decades of a city like this one. Heaven~ I cannot imagine the beauty and peace. Panagiota xx

Yes, me too. This is nothing like Macy's Day extravaganza. It's homey and humble and usually at night. Lots of kids are on the floats, too Panagiota

Nice concept , I agree. Better yet, ML, it is a real place. I lived on Chicago once. This is the mirror opposite. So gal to be here!
