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.

It sounds as if you were blessed with the wisdom of making the best
