Longing

Rebecca

Though now the clouds roll over me

as the west winds have blown

I find I long for distant plains

endless skies I have known

 

But what to me was east and west

and lure of many lands

could never replace the green grass

with tepid heated sands

 

For here was where I set my roots

bright summers in the glen

A-wash in colors of the fall

your heart shines now as then

Author's Note

While at times I long for adventure from my misspent youth. I always turn to Becky and smile, realizing, I have come to the end of the rainbow.

Ultra romantic. No, we never forget the romances of the past, but to know with certainty the one you have now is the ultimate, is to be forever happy. You are in the right place for sure. What a beautiful lady in this photo....she thrives on your love. Lydi**
