I grew up in a heaven-on-earth farm. I still miss it.
How do I know the cattle low
In pastures in green and pure?
Why do I sit and long for it
My home for never more?
Within my heart I feel the start
Of walls come tumbling down.
It's such a task to wear this mask
False smile that hides my frown.
I yearn and long, the feeling strong
To bring back what I knew,
Restore the glee that sang in me
In tones so clear and true!
