Great Pine Lane

There is a place,
A place of summer breezes,
with night time glows.
Clear skies,
clearly shining stars,
Over on Great Pine Lane.

There was a time,
A time where every moment was a smile,
your smile.
Time became memories,
smiles were yours,
hearts were full,
Down on Great Pine Lane.

There was a home.
This home full of life,
full of laughter,
where warmth was ever present,
where you belonged,
where you were safe,
this, on Great Pine Lane.

There, was pain.
Pain that lead to experiences.
Where life made you braver,
More tough,
where grit became practice,
where inner strength,
became you.
All on Great Pine Lane.

You were different there.
You were innocent,
unmarked,
unblemished.
You knew you.
You knew your future,
had that perspective.

(Somehow you lost it,
Dropped the vision,
dropped your heart...)

There was love.
Love that defined the days.
Love that kept you true.
Love that marked your existence.
Love that became your motive.
Love from a great understanding,
Love, that came from within.
At the heart of it all.
Great Pine Lane.

Filled with faith.
Hope that carried you forward.
Belief with resolve.
Truth, unbending
Down in Great Pine Lane...

Remember it,
Relish in the thoughts,
believe in the future,
Carry it on.

Great Pine Lane.
Though it once was.
It's now a piece of you.
A piece to hold onto.
A glow, a light to look for.
