The View From a Different Window

~hometowns are like that, you know?~

~and it has always been worth it~

~and it was for the kids~

~as times get even tighter~

~as they grow in heart and grow in spirit~

~and as we read on~

~somewhere along the road~

~with a road map that is folded and worn~

~and it was a $10 lesson~

~and their teacher loved writing~

~and it finally got better~
