Take Me There

There’s nothing like the lovely rustic charm
Exuded by the far flung lush green country farm
Where trees in majesty sweep heaven with their crown
And birds with celestial music, the surrounding valley drown

Where the air, so pristine and sweet like the forest glade
And Heaven with rich profusion bless the country wide. 
Where the rural folk in relentless toil, values, and pride
With their simple, artless, and modest life reside

My senses have ere long etched every sight n’ sound
Of that countryside wherein my childhood inextricably bound
Take me to that place of bliss to which I long to retreat
And splurge in memories that cascade down in surfeit.

Wow! You mean that you left that ideal, idyllic farm?! How could you have?! (Ha, ha. I did too.) Funny how we all come full circle at some point in time. :) gw

Sounds like you were raised in a wonderfully rural setting. You paint the image so vividly -- though not my experience growing up, you make me wish that it were. Lovely poetry!
