Every visit to a relative's house

brought you a feast

And after, stories

And homemade ice cream on the porch

Gentle breezes cooled the

Sweat of the day

And laughter filled the air

"Aunt Lucille got a new freezer"

"Elouise is pregnant again"

"Cousin Tommy is hiding out"

Mint julips on the glider

A dog barking down the road

Sister Martha's cat beside her

Good conversation

Good friends

Good food

Memories that warm me

When winter's chill sets in

Another place

Another time

All in all, still

Dixie

Forever Home

Forever mine
