*My Valley,My Home*

There I sit on a large marble colored rock,
high upon the mountain looking into the valley.
My valley,my home.
Speckled among the trees,
with rooftops of various colors and shapes.
A church tower reaches high into the sky,
and the gentle breeze rolls up the hillside,
bringing the aroma for home cooking to my senses.
There nestled between two mountains I make my home.
With such beauty I have never seen elsewhere in my travels.
Lost in time,
for my valley has not changed since I was a lad,
and I pray it never will.
Small towns breed companionship,
one large family ready and willing to lend a hand
at a moments notice.
I shall never leave my valley,
it will be in my heart always,
it's my home forever.....jln
