She Beckons Me

If home is where the heart is
  My home lies far away
Though I may live in Illinois
  Returning home's my goal some day

For now I bide my time and wait
  Until the coast is clear and bright
And on that day I'll sail away
  To live a life that's pure, upright

In her embrace, deep in my soul
  She takes me home to grassy knoll
And beckons me with soft refrains
  Come back again, your love remains

Congratulations, and excellent post, Gershon. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. I am very proud of you and your poetic proliferation. The descriptive excellence is lovely and sends terrific images. The theme of "Her Beckoning" stands out, and the tone moves the piece down the page with much grace. Great job! Have a fantastic day, and God's richest grace to you and your loved ones always. –Professor, Ambassador, Dr. Joseph S. Spence Sr. (Epulaeryu Master)!
