20 of 52: Home and the Heartland

(picture by Kyla)

High in the sky,
Through the clouds and rain,
Every familiar field,
Seems like an old friend,
When every hand that you shake,
Is like a warm embrace,
Could only be one sweet place,
Home and the Heartland.

Sing out your songs,
And ring out your stories and rhymes,
Weave from your dreams,
The mystical dances that lead us to
Bind in heart and mind.

As we circle the world,
With our wandering airs,
Gathering here and there,
Leaving behind our share,
Like the leaves in the wind,
They are blown along,
Melodies rising from,
Home and the Heartland.

Sing out your songs,
And ring out your stories and rhymes,
Weave from your dreams,
The mystical dances that lead us to
Bind in heart and mind.


It's good to be home again.
It just gets right into your heart, this 'heartland'.

Thanks to you guys and I love your blogs too. Isn't it fun to see what everyone else is doing all over the place. Thanks for sharing your lives with us too!

I still feel funny posting pics of myself but I like this one of Maya and the background and I s'pose someday I will really be happy to have these pictures of me and the kids.

Can I say it, too? I LOVE your blog. Wonderful picture of a wonderful moment. Most of those kinds of moments are in stashed only in our memories.

I know how you feel about your husband's home... It becomes yours too, because of your connection to him.
