I Know a Place

I know a place where sweet peas were sweet. I know a place where sweet corn was sweet. I know a place where people were just as sweet; A place where dairy farms produced the finest milk, butter, and cheese. I know a place where we often took recovering drug addicts on retreats; Where the people were both giving and forgiving; And I know a place where I sometimes wonder why I ever moved away. I know a place where the weather was cold and the people were warm; Where people didn't judge me because of differences. This place I know is where our first child was born. This place is where our doctor chose our child's name. Someday soon, I would love to visit this place I know that will always be in my heart. 052123PSCtest. Edward Ibeh. Contest Name. This or That, Vol 18. Title chose: I Know a Place

Truly sweet - a retreat, perfection’s veggies; milk, butter and cheese at its finest. The people so warm that someone else respected enough to name your child.
