My home by liz snader

As the wind blew, the rosey red

Flowers swayed the dance of

Hula dancers flowing to the strong

And powerful drums-

As the children passed by

I noticed the way they walked-

Every child walked without worry,

Without strain. As I watched those children

I remembered my childhood-

My dad took me to basketball practice-

My mom took me to softball practice-

My life was a playground. All I ever did

Was play sports and hangout with my family-

As I watched those kids walks

Past me, I smiled and kept on with my journey.

Seeing those kids laughing and running around

Made me realize this one thing:

Oregon is my love, my life, my home.
