I Love Poems

I like to live in a small town
Where the trees meet across the street,
Where you wave your hand and say "Hello"
To everyone you meet.

I like to stand for a moment,
Outside the grocery story,
And listen to the friendly gossip
Of the folks that live next door.

For life is interwoven
With the friends we learn to know.
And we hear their joys and sorrows
As we daily come and go.

So I like to live in a little town.
I care no more to roam
For every house in a little town
Is more than a house--It's a home.

I love that! Beautiful!

I have been there a few times. And I still visit often in my dreams.

Thanks for posting.

@Peaches Im still a sucker for those Hallmark and Lifetime type movies where there's a return to one's hometown after years of living in a big city. Once there, it feels too much like a favorite sweater; surrounded by loving and gentle old friends and cousins, they seriously reflect on why they ever left in the first place.

One of my old favorite Iris Dement songs. I believe they ran the extended version at the end of the final episode of that old Northern Exposure series ....
