Place Called Bolivia

Place Called Bolivia

This to me is a certain type of trivia
Which I believe would describe Bolivia
Perfect place where people want to go 
To see its beauty and watch garden grow.

Looked at Lockwood Foley freely run
And a long time ago it was once upon
Son did die before we moved there
That for us really was so hard to bare.

We do live here and love it now
With God's grace will get by somehow
Enjoy newness nature to us has given
In Bolivia, where we both are living.

Fine fragrant flowers and frequent birds
Sing soft songs not having any words
Many marked with a marvelous melody
By mocking bird sitting in a tall tree.

Found myself living here loving it forever
And want to leave it, no, would not ever
Prepared a pleasant prayer to say today
Will love Bolivia best when I'm not away.

Thanks. It even is named after Bolivia in South America. Bags of coffee on a train had Bolivia on them so they decided to call the City Bolivia. Wow. Jim Horn
