There was a difference in our new
location,
but not anything a six year old
could comprehend.
There was a harshness, yet a
refreshing gentleness
but it was a sad time.
For years, the new state I had
taken as my home
received the blame for a set of
circumstances.
It was blinding the beauty around
me.
Everyplace has its excellence.
It's not just a matter of seeing
it,
but of focusing on it.
