The Tracks Run in and out of town
When you arrived the glory rested and was well established the combined ease and effort of life
Produced a place called hometown parents were youthful we children lived and relished life that was
Made up of cool people and cooler places to visit idle away your time enjoy those special times depths
Were found because you were touching the flow of life at its roots these circles gently move collide
Divide break into memories that are laced with emotional content and portent you can circle the globe
But there is a harking a spilling of sweet nuance that drifts among the deepest plantings where you
Stood among magical wonders they never lose their power or intensity standing outside the home
Looking through the window the small part of life is ebbing and flowing through it you are changing and
Growing tomorrow it will be showing your movements of innocents will beautify the world you occupy
Make it softer and wizened in the quiet measure that you add by being a tender breeze among
The heated exposed crush of life hear that whistle blow don’t you know the sender is speaking
Creating the strength of home it is entering your being it will be endearing the far horizon is calling
You must answer the towering glowering harshness will tell you when the time is full when deadness
Chokes the town and all heroes die only the silent wind remains you must now take all of that which was
Instilled carry it to a new beginning release it bestow the riches that each loved one and friend possessed
You were there guardian the proof of all that they believed in you looked deeper than you know their
Faces held an abiding glow it went deep within their it grew collectively it aged was seasoned day by day
A measure was added your stature grew it would serve you well and tell in intimate detail of your
upbringing and who and how they influenced your life some would be hard as steel others would pour
in the vessel purist thought mix it with love watch it swell you took their hearts and their spirits it truly
was an investment they made now you will spend it in the greater world for the greater good of the
country this is nation building at the basic level all continues on an out down the rails a future assured
untold blessings ignite the true burning of a host of men and women whose ideals built a structure invisible ever its orgin exspands
in time now it burns and inflames a new generation of those who love freedom and all that it stands for
