Arkansas Rain

In sickness and in health

What gifts remain?

I again hear the birds

And feel the rain

My Arkansas rain that

I once knew

Hello Louise, my friend! Thanks for visiting and sharing your comments.
So glad you enjoyed my writing. Being back in Arkansas has been a blessing and I so love the Ozarks! We used to live near here back in 80s, but moved to WI. We have retired back to this area. It is extremely restorative and healing here. Being in touch with nature has helped me so much. Sorry, I probably said way too much! 🙂 anyway, thank you! -j

Memories become the foundation of all we can be.
