My native Midwest beckons! I'm very excited to be "coming home" once more in a couple of weeks to visit four beloved (to me) communities...you can find out more by clicking on the blue link of each listing. Here's the lowdown:

Innocent Place © 2022 David Roth ~ County Clare, Ireland
|
|
There’s nothing like taking a trip far from home
|
|
And seeing the sights with your friends
|
|
There’s no greater learning than tromping about
|
On a highway with turns and with bends
|
|
It’s the wrinkles and detours that come to the fore
|
|
Unexpected and full of surprise
|
|
And just when I think that I’m filled to the brim
|
There’ll be something to open my eyes
|
|
Thank you for showing up, thank you for ease
|
|
Thank you for patience and grace
|
|
Safe going forward, may all that you see
|
Bring you back to your innocent place
|
|
To come to my senses I must lose my mind
|
|
And surrender the counting of days
|
|
The busy-ness certainly adds to the stress
|
Of attempting to manage my ways
|
|
There’s only one family, there’s nothing on Earth
|
|
That can hold back my soul to forgive
|
|
A song or a poem, a story in prose
|
Can move mountains as sure as I live
|
|
There’s nothing like taking a trip far from home
|
|
And seeing the sights with your friends
|
|
Remember the past but don’t rest in that picture
|
For I just might see you again
|
|
And when that day comes there won’t be any words
|
|
That could capture this feeling and time
|
|
So we’ll dive off a cliff and jump into the present
|
The dwelling of all that’s divine
|
