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.
