I Googled an address and found an empty space-
At one time, years ago, it used to be my favorite place.
.
I felt warm at this place, and was always welcome there-
I could be myself, without much care.
.
The folks that resided there, were generous-
No snobbery, no perfect stance, not much fuss.
.
The years passed, and of course, I moved away-
Returning many times, enjoying another sunny day.
.
But more time passed, and to my fear-
It was no longer, it had went into disappear.
.
Both the people and the structure are both gone-
No clothesline pole, no little garden, no flowers, on the lawn.
.
Thank goodness for memories, for I can still step back-
Even though on Google, I face an empty land tract.

In Texas it was a bit dry-
So everyone was happy
when the rain passed by.
.
It thundered a bit with a
roar-
It passed by quick, with
a little more emotion in
store.
.
Not no serious rains, but
enough to get the land
wet-
With a bit of drought,
we’d already paid our
debt.
.
In Texas, it was a bit dry-
So everyone was happy,
when the rain passed by.
