Sansossio In the Valley

Nestled in the valley
water fountains gurgling
a view of the mountains
San Sossio quaint and vibrant

Stucco colored houses
red roof tiled
balconies with pots in flowers
graceful swallows in flight

My home on the ascent 
at the edge of town serene
wine fermenting scent
aroma of baking bread

Children gaily playing
young embraced in dancing
old on benches chatting
jubilant church bells clapping

Sparks of distant stars
memories of smiles and songs
history to repeat is known
village life will return

Sounds like a peaceful place to live--lovely imagery of the town--children unsupervised --says it all--thanks for sharing it, Frances!
