oh, how many barriers were overcome
My Adopted Home

So proud I am to be
living here
in a country that offers much
to live most 'oft carefree
a seer.
Seeking options so much to touch.
To do my part little
is needed
just knock over life's barriers
as if they were skittles
wins seeded
will aide in living happier
I try to smile at all
the youngsters
spinsters and miserly neighbor
the short and yes the tall
but tricksters
make me want to bang the tabor
