My Life

I Finally found My Way Home

I Can go back to that Country

I Was Born Too - My Country Home

Any day I want I can Let it Set Me Free

Long Ago, we went Away

Packed the kids, and the Semi Rolled

We had what we Needed to Find our Way

Didn't Know all we'd Find, and what was Stole

We left the Trees and All that Snow

To Sunnyvale for that New Job

People starin' they can't all be theirs, ya Know

We didn't realize we'd be part of the Mob

It was in the Fall of '87

After we found a Roost to Rest

And how the Winter would be like Heaven

After All the Cold ones we spent back in the Nest

Seein' folks in Parkas was a Joke

When we still runnin' in T shirt on the Shore

The Fog in the City and in the Sun we'd Soak

We'd venture when we could to the Beach or seein' More

More of what Cali had to Offer

The kids peddled to School

As mom and pop had to add to the Coffer

To ensure we'd make the Week Through

Drivin' home from the water Park

We experienced our first Shaker

Got home and saw them all out of the Ark

Learned to understand what they mean by a Quaker

We played and learned and we Grew

Spent those years in the Scouts

And Mom and Pop found moments Few

But we were In Love there was no Doubt

Being completely on our Own

We had to grow and Keep it Together

So many Miles from our First Home

Don't Know what I'd ever have done without Her

And they day came where We could move to the Wasatch

We left those crowded Roads the Ocean and High Rent

And Returned to the Mountains where we started the Batch

Now we could buy our Home where wonderful years Spent

From here we could Drive home each Summer

The streets were so Empty on Sunday

We enjoyed the Mountains and hikin' and skiin' Her

And we had time, more time to Play

Those were awesome days on Angel Sea

We had everything a Home to call our Own

Finished the basement for room for All to Be

And we had our final addition and brought her Home

Everything was going so fine for so Long

And then I got sick, and it thru me for a Loop

When the Liver is attacked it's long before gettin' Strong

When I was coming out it was like I was in F-Troop

An offer came up in Wisconsin for Me

A chance to be where we could do Week End Up .. North

And I was still not myself a little Shaky

But I bit on the offer hard to pass Up

It was with a Large Company called G.E.

Where I'd work on Ultrasound the L 700

North of Milwaukee near my brother we'd Be

Things were good then Sad and we Wondered

Had we done a mistake that we could not Undo

The taxes were raised 2K more than Before

As the Utilities from the Pool and house Grew

And it was not long we were lookin' for a back Door

Almost to the Year was all we had to Worry

Cuz I got a job back where I was near the Beehive

And we just had to get that house sold before Flurries

After sessions on Prayer Rock finally good news Arrived

And when we returned we got the Prettiest one of them All

The house was perfect and kids back with their Friends

Mom and Pop too were all Smiles and sang Joy to it All

Finally those lonely days had come to an End

On Morywood was one of the Best Chapters of All

A wonderful story shared in the poetry my dear friend. I left home for almost twenty years and now I live 20 miles from where I was born. Home is where we feel safe and people. Remember our name. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
