Take Me To The Country

Take me to the country
Where the wildflowers bloom,
Where I'm close to nature
Away from all this gloom.
God paints a picture
With its grandeur all amidst,
This is one of His blessings
That I wouldn't miss.

Take me to the country
Where the air is so fresh,
Where I can see all of the birds
Even the robin redbreast.
The grass is lush and green
The trees provide the shade,
If heaven is anything like this
We would have it made.

That's very beautiful (((Robert)))!

Thank you Roe...that was just a quick thought this morning before I got off work. I had to write it really quick. Glad you liked it.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiii like it!

Robert, that is very nice!! Good to see you back and at it!!!

Thank you Suze...it feels good to be back at it. Glad you liked it.

And thanks to you Dreamz...glad you liked it also.

If I may be allowed to expand on your poetry;

Take me to the country
Where things just aren't that fast
Where we'd get better veggies
at the farmstand we just passed
The people there are nicer
They'll give a helping hand
To any stranger lost out here
in (to them) a foreign land

Take me to the country
Where the farmer makes our food
Where men hold doors for ladies
and the air smells twice as good
Where going to church on Sunday
still means wearing Sunday's best
And relaxing over Supper is what
we need for rest

Take me to the country
where we still stand and salute
the Vets as they go marching
down the long,slow parade route
I'll take country over city
I've done both in my time
it's what the doctor ordered
I've got country on my mind

Nice poem Robert, and a nice little addition
by Elwood.

That was pretty good Elwood...thanks for the addition.

Thanks Susan, that was good wasn't it?

Thank you Erica...glad you liked it.

heya robert

Hiya Brenda...how have you been? Missed you.

Elwood, I am glad I could get your flow going this morning. That was really a nice add.

My flow?? My flow is what woke me up at 5am... lol
Oh, you mean poetry flow.. Well, when I see something that strikes a chord with me, it brings out the thoughts that I have already had on the subject, and it just seems to... FLOW

Sorry I beat you to it...but it was a good add that had the same flow to it. Thanks

Take me to the country,
thats where I want to be.
Out here living and breathing free.
Leave me here with all of GOD friends so near.
Shine my sun, let me run, never a fear.
Birds flying high, in the white and blue sky.
Deers to wake me from a nap,
pinetrees smelling of their sap.
This place I rest out in the country.
Is the place I love the best.


I just got inspired,,,GREAT job Robert and Sully,,,CHEERS GUYS,

Good job Terry for your addition to it...I think everybody is getting into the flow of this one. Help yourselves.

A nice add on indeed

The Flow is flowin like a river in a country. Man this is gettin good.
