Home Thoughts

Horizons far don't beckon me

I really never yearned

For snowy slopes and deserts

As I,late in life,have learned

That here upon my mountain

I have all that I could need.

With this beauty all around me

I am fortunate indeed.

I've seen many of Earth's wonders

And I've marvelled at them all.

When settled in my comfy chair

I can most of them recall.

But now my needs are simple

And my thoughts unclouded clear

I realise that all along

My paradise was here.
