Town Motto

Town Motto

A Story by Leviathus Fortes

A warming hug that fills you
A strength that knows no bounds
A place that you can call your home
Where you feel safe and sound

A heart that's shared between us
Teamwork that shares a chore
Finally realizing
What it is we're living for

If life has taught me one thing
It's as simplistic as this
Wake up and treat the new day
As if it were a gift

How much do I love you
Let me count the ways
There's not enough months on the calendar
The year, not enough days

I'd like to say I love you
And show you each and every time
To keep it in your memory
I shall tell you it in rhyme

I love you more than ice cream
On a sunny summer day
A bouquet of flowers given
On a hospital stay

A teddy bear you hug on
When you are feeling poor
A cheerful moment you do have
When the team you love does score

A warm embracing moment
One that's filled with bliss
A shoulder there to rest your head
A hand, a hug, a kiss

A rainbow stretching across the sky
The thoughts of pots of gold
A joyful resolution
When one has broke free from the mold

Elated aspiration
A tear run down a cheek
Thinking of a loved one
Each minute, day, or week

Here I go, into the wind
Floating in the breeze
Soaring ever so high
Across painted hills and open seas

Not resting for a moment
Nor worrying to care
It's not about my destination
But the journey getting there

The path that I am taking
May seem so incomplete
But it's about what is sufficient
And everyone I meet

What is it that I take from them
The things that I shall learn
And what is it they get from me
Life kindly paid in full return

The choices I have, many
Yet never shall I part
From the true me that is here inside
If I just trust my heart

I think it was Kit Carson whom had that same idea of love, truth and expatiation's of a true blue Honest American.


Looking forward to reading more.
