Coming home from where I had been retracing steps from here to there Has brought my life full circle now bringing back the lessons I share

            
  Tate and his cousin Paige in the 50 ft swing we built 

 

The water's edge rose to meet me

while either side the river lie

Across the bridge and path I ran

past tall fields of both wheat and rye

 

To the meadow where my home sat

there childhood dreams were born and died

I followed the path that life led

my favored angel at my side

 

Here were crafted my hopes and dreams

from hence I’d come to test my skill

To find the place where I belong

perhaps upon some distant hill

 

Coming home from where I had been

retracing  steps from here to there

Has brought my life full circle now

teaching me the lessons I share

 

I had set out to find my purpose

only my own life did I see

But finding love in coming home

my treasured soul had found all three

Dear Tate,

As always a beautiful and romantic piece. However this one is perhaps even more romantic than usual. And I agree. How happy a home filled with loved ones. Money can't buy this. Nothing can replace this. This is what completes us and gives us our sense of purpose and meaning.

A nice one, Tate. Very much enjoyed.

Best regards,

Rick

Beautiful.... you did another amzing job. Plus I love this song :)! But honestly.... its like the story of life... you home, no matter where it is... no matter where you come from... being home.... its like... you. You were built there. Once in a while when I pass my old apartment I get a warm feeling... Sometimes I stop... and just look at it. Memories flood me... and it gives you a sense of.. happiness... assurance? Its magic... you need to remember yourself... and sometimes... going back to the place that you experiance life.. its beautiful... Another astounding job. Nice job! :)

Spring brings me to your garden, and I can picked any poem you have wrote, standing here in front of this space World.. I find this Light, a Comet..that leads me to that journey. Timeless, ageless and also ... faith.. I feel this peace that transforms my body in light and dreams.. can I say...I don't want to go.. and I want to read as many times as I can... so I can take it with me in my mind...Si
Amen

[Patrica Alvarez]

This is so beautiful, it reminds me of what's its like to come home after a long trip full of self evaluation and personal growth

I really loke the picture on this one. I also liked the poem.

[A.r. Bazian]

...
"as i cross the landscapes,
gray of time and pain...
the same old scenario;
the same old rain!

caress the violets and...
slowly whither away;
nothing unusual, nothing's changed
a feeling mutual, visions deranged
all away... fall away

pardon my senses,
pardon my weight
pardon me...
and my departure...
i'm running late!"
thanks tate, this was in my head reading yours
