Places

I have heard it said that home is where your story begins
Can it not also be that home is where your story ends?I

I tend to buck the trends and ride contrary winds that                                     have taken me to places unplanned and unforeseen


My place of birth was a hard and poverty laden place
My place of education and wedding bells was a most

challenging place.  The place of our first child's birth
was a quiet and pleasing place.  The place of our second

child's beginnings was a hard and stressful place
The place of our third child's birth was a pricy but lovely

and beautiful place. Our present place of 33 years is a
gracefully welcoming and homely place. So I'm feeling

At home now in a place I have come to love,
Even more so than the place of my beginning.
