I read this poem on the back of a Country Woman magazine and thought it was neat.

Country Bound

All my life is wrapped in dreams,

Of country sun and country rain;

One day soon I'll be returning

To my country home again.

Circumstances may have bound me

To another place and time,

But the coming days will find me

Heading for that home of mine.

Take me back to country living,

Back to claim my roots again;

Walk me through a field of clover,

Stroll me down a country lane.

Then I'll know I am not dreaming

When my feet caress the ground;

I must go where my heart leads me

and my heart is country bound!

That poem makes me want to go to the country, if I could only pack up and go right now. I feel like it is somewhat true of my personal life right now. Thanks for sharing this poem.
