This Is What I Know

A tweet,a whistle, a beautiful note, after long consideration, a sigh of sweet relief. A note, a tune, an afternoon, just listening for fun. The trees, a breeze, hearing the river run. Reminds me of the country I knew, a place, a face of birds, hills, flowers, and the dew. Running, laughing, sometimes napping and walking up the road. Swimming, giggling and watching a hop from a toad. Working, digging,just not quitting this was the place I knew. I hope somehow I can bring it now to the city where I live. A girl, three boys and a husband who's love is true. This is what I know.
