My New Place

My new place
I see it in my mind
The place I’m meant to be
I see me living everywhere
set under a shady tree
As I walk in the yard
The smell of pine cones and green grass
 Amidst the days hot summer sun
Iin the little garden of tomatoes red and ripe
I feel my feet dig in the dirt
 As if it and I are one
Sitting on my porch
Drinking sweet lemonade
 I smell the earthy air
And feel the gentle breeze of summer 
as it blows through my hair
I see it in my mind
I feel it in my soul
When I see me in this place
 I can see me gently growing old
