     In this one, I talk about some things going on in the world today. At the time we lived in Saluda County, South Carolina, on a lovely 2-acre wooded lot off the beaten path.

      By far is is the best-received poem from the book:


      One Morning You Will Decide

 

One morning you will decide

that this is the day to escape:

 

time to load the car, leave

the madness and mayhem.

 

Soon we will drive along

mesas, snow-capped mountains,

 

along the Natchez Trace

and the Appalachian chain.

 

Maybe we will leave the car

at the airport and fly to

 

that city on a cliff in Spain

you saw online or Vienna

 

where I will lure you to Sopron

and show you the family homestead.

 

Tell me when, my love and I will

get the bags from upstairs.
