I still hope to pop in now and then. Take care. Gary) [bodytext] =>

I know a boastful place of deeds long done.
It`s echos of battle still scent the air.
I know a happy place, a place of fun.
I know I`ll always find my smile there.

There`s a place with melancholy in the air,
where young lovers kissed before they parted.
I know a thoughtful place, a place of prayer,
where I feel humble and warm hearted.

I know a timid place, it`s now so small.
It once was brave and open, now it`s shy.
It once was huge with room enough for all.
Now it just wants to hide away and die.

I know a timid place. You knew it too.
It cared for all. A part of it was mine.
This place is buried, scared within you.
Let it beat again. You were meant to shine.
