A Pleasant Visit
My Home Away From Home
Such a hot yet amazing place,
no one would ever believe.
The beauty hidden within the desert,
I didn’t want to leave.
***
The Southern hospitality,
so deeply rooted in the West.
No anger or animosity displayed,
everyone was at their best.
***
My home away from home,
which one did I love more?
I was too captivated by the desert beauty,
to bother keeping score!
***
From the very first day I landed,
a feeling of home was immediately felt.
Not one worry in the world,
maybe one - I thought I would melt!
***
Everyone was so nice,
and quick to lend a hand.
If you ever had a need,
they did what they can.
***
Yet the heat took its toll on me,
and from the pretty desert I had to retreat.
It knocked me down pretty hard,
almost unable to stand on my own feet.
***
So I gathered all my things,
as tears poured from my eyes.
Explained to loved ones I had to leave,
but I’ll be back to visit - because I don’t believe in goodbyes….
