Utah Valley where I have lived for the past 34 years:
Utah Lake I can see from my house deck. to the west. If you were to look east, you would see the mountains close to my house. There are mountain both to the east and to the west of the whole Utah Valley area
Where I would prefer to be (my hometown, Muscatine,Iowa)
For twenty-seven years I have lived here
inside this little city, Pleasant Grove.
I live too far away from sisters dear.
Not easily from this town could I rove!
I live here with a dog, a cat and spouse.
I hardly know a thing about this town.
I’m here because it’s where we built our house.
A few main streets I’m used to driving down
yet hardly know my way around this place!
I also do not know its histories.
One thing I like (for me, its saving grace) -
it’s home to many varied gorgeous trees!
My own hometown I know much better though
I spent my childhood there so long ago!
