Art "The Pride Of Dijon"
By William John Hennessy


Home Again
By La Belle Rouge


Home, My Love, you are home again
Where peace is more than a hope
and love is a gentle kiss of fingertips
Where words are tempered with kindness
and disagreements never crush hearts

You are home where red roses bloom
where mutual tenderness dwells and
respect and honor are two way streets
Where growing up is a sacred experience
and laughter is heard more than weeping

Where fathers guide with patience
and mothers don’t cry for absent children
Home, where at twilight you take my hand
and we walk arm in arm along the riverbank
until the smiling moon peeks out at us
between gnarled branches of ancient trees

Where we sit together in our garden
encircled by scent of gardenia and jasmine
sharing our secret thoughts and warm lips
along with a bottle of vintage chardonnay
and poetry we have dedicated to each other
steamy day soon morphs into cool night
as you wrap my shoulders with your arms
and I welcome you home again
