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)!
