    Tired feet always make it home
    Just around the bend
    Your step lightens at the sight of it hiding
    Just around the bend
    The old dirt road packed so hard slopes down to ease the load you carry
    Just around the bend
    You can feel the coolness in the shade of the trees out of the blistering sun
    Just around the bend
    There’s a waft of stew on the breeze, of cakes and scones and bread drawing you onwards
    Just around the bend
    And the tinkling of the piano too accompanying the soft lull of song “Amazing Grace”
    Just around the bend
    How many years have you trod this path pony, stock drives, cycles, cart and car garaged now
    Just around the bend
    The mates that have come accompanied too, sisters suiters, and the girl to meet your mum
    Just around the bend
    Echoes of laughter and running bare feet children chasing chooks and lambs
    Just around the bend
    Official visitors dreaded in the end begging for time for help for reprieve – good times returning
    Just around the bend
    It waits ever peaceful willing to serve this house this home this haven of old
    Just around the bend
    Slowly now nearly there will this be the last trip home
    Just around the bend

    Forgive me this piece of yours begged me to write it’s story
    I love this for the soft afternoon colours and the beckoning home calling me to visit to live there just around the bend :O) Chookas! ♥

    PS I hope you liked my poem I wrote looking at your picture, I’ve now posted it here in my writing folio and added a link through to your folio and to this picture so now my watchers will come watch you too! :O)
    Thank you for the inspiration! Chookas! ♥

    sincere thanks for the time you have taken to write the lovely poem to Colins painting. Would love to hear any more you are inspired to write. Colin works full time so I usually take care of all things secretarial. Painting is something he usually does in his spare time, so he does not have much time to spare. Again , many thanks, Heather(secretary, wife , cook, etc.) ha. ha.
