Viroqua

by Jamie Hettema, 2024

• I’m finding that Viroqua often comes to mind

 

• A babbling Brook, a beaver dam, a quiet slice of time

 

• A song bird sings

 

• The beauty a buttercup brings

 

• A rock formation, intricate and divine

 

• The way a vine can climb

 

• The soul is soothed, the mind released

 

• To sights and sounds sublime

 

• When I stop for just a moment

 

• Serenity fills that time

 

• The folks are kind and genuine

 

• Accepting and in admiration of the earth

 

• It’s peaceful here, I feel held dear

 

• And well aware of my worth

 

• I’ll carry you home dear Viroqua

 

• Deep in my heart and mind

 

• And hope to bring your simple wealth

 

   To all encountered mankind
