Here is the placea



A step and a night above the ground a traveler waters the earth where no nourishments found. Hoping that his thoughts take root and germinate into the rarest of Nature's fruit. And if tomorrow may bring such pain and sorrow? He knows his labor will bring prosperity never to beg or borrow.
And in that shade invested from the past is a paradise that no shadow may pass. Here is the place faith and grace will grow. The person who planted it watered it and looked over it for you to know. A place for you to rest and get strength when you're all alone.
 Here is the place.

About this poem

A description of a place where a now deceased elderly gentleman had lived with two of his friends of 60 years after losing his home. This same gentleman invited me to live there after finding my girlfriend's dead body after she had gone missing one Friday afternoon. I found her body Sunday morning. I didn't know whether I was coming or going at that time. A year later my old friend passed away. He two friends said, I was more than welcome to continue to stay there if I wished. I don't know where I'd be at present if it wasn't for these three aged wise gentleman. God called one guardian angel home and gave me two more. Here is the place.
