Time To Put Down Roots Poem by david lessard

Here is where I'll stay forever,
Rooted to this land -
Though I may wander here and there,
Right here is where I'll stand.

I've traveled much too much,
and seen so many sights -
I've a need to settle down,
away from smog and city lights.

A little town in Arizona,
That's where my place will be -
Not too big and not too small,
Where stars I still can see.

A mile-high burg, in the hills,
Where smiles go a long, long way -
Where people still are friendly,
in their own particular way.

Where I can look for a hundred miles,
under heaven's curtain -
Where I could live for a hundred years,
of that much, I am certain.
