Walked a Mile
She stopped her car and walked a mile
Finding a place familiar but new
Shortest jog through the mist and fog
Reminds her of a younger day when cares of life did not exist, as if they ever had to
Finest items anywhere, selection grand
Some old some new, but all the quality transcending time itself
She gathered a basket of all that spoke of her
By thought alone to carry home
Why return when all of meaning surrounds her?
She was upset to know she could not stay
and carry-on among this place, the cost to remain too high
Around she must return and continue on her way
She bundled as many memories as she could
To double back the mile away, rejoin the forlorn car
and continue on her way again
But since that day the story goes out to all whom she knows
to quickly recount that fateful morn she choose to stop the car
and found the special place one mile way
Each time to touch a memory
renews her hope to travel on
and once again encounter such a lovely place to stay
