a place to be pioneers
raise children in safety
where the air was clean
and the stars came out every night
presenting themselves to be
counted... to her son's delight
she used to love
the walks to the
great mound where she sat
while her children played
until the magnificent
setting of the sun
she used to love
the quiet neighborhoods
where every street
was a road less traveled
stop signs, traffic lights
hardly needed to function
almost 20 years ago
almost 20 years ago
when life was simpler
no sirens blaring, no helicopters
searching
when the hearth
inside the house
warmed the two plus their three
today she sits, in reverie
she used to love it here
