HOMETOWN
I am enjoying the poems my Xanga friends are writing. Today is the theme: Hometown. I chose to write a free verse poem to express my thoughts on this theme.
My Hometown
“What’s your hometown?” people would ask of me.
What would I say: Could it be the place in which my life began?
Or perhaps it’s the town from which my parents hailed?
Or maybe it’s one of the other places which once I called my home?
But after I met my husband, the answer quite easily became –
My home town is here -- where my sweetheart and I are now one!

Thanks, Miriam. I too loved Billy Graham's quote (& the picture on the poster).

I was born in Detroit but left at 6 months old and went to Ca. and lived there till I was a senior in high school and I meet a little cowboy and fell in love and got stuck in Texas. LOL
I went from CA to Philippines to IL to OH (with extra times off & on in IL throughout some of the years).
Your cowboy grounded you to one spot, same as my Buckeye did to me!
I'm not that well that I want anyone to touch my foot yet.
I will get the staples out today at 10am
Sometimes I holler; I have 5 dogs and I don't see a one! Dave said,"get in the cookie jar and they're all here in a few seconds. LOL
I understand the fear of having a foot touched when it is really sensitive! By now the staples are. Out ... Yes!
Dogs can be like kids! LOL! 
Good Morning Carolyn! Thank you so much for the nice comment, We do have a lot in common, and thanks for joining in on the NPM assignment...I love your simple and hometown poems, and I'm still giggling over the granddaughters "metaphor" we are truly blessed!
