"Let Us Go Back "


Let Us Go Back
~Thomas Curtis Clark~
Let us go back
To the simpler and better things.
Let us retrace our steps
From our greed-born bickerings
Back to the quietness
Of plain, good friendliness.
Let us go back
To the old roads of beauty's quest.
Let us again find joy
In the fields and the woods, possessed
By the thrill of the spring,
And of summer wandering.
Let us go back
To old-fashioned content, our wealth
Found in the garden nooks,
And beneath home roofs.
Let the health
Of the trees and the grass
Be ours, as the seasons pass.


My Maternal Grandmother Alexandra Mae Neil Heckbert born 1902 Noel, Nova Scotia
