My village

Wrote as nostalgia is killing me after two full decades, St. Lawrence church is my church

Simple, beautiful, innocent like dove

Still loves me without conditions

My life friend, yesterday and today

This minute, only a penfriend

My family house sleeps in your lap

My blood brothers and sisters live with you

You loved me just like my mom loved me

My village, always an ideal village

The bands, drums of church feast

The fried sweets of church saints day

The beautiful days of Easter procession

I miss my village, every single day of my life

Author's Note

Do you miss your village you grew up, I do terribly

Very touching , remember the past and you use it's foundation to build your present village for the people you love; then they will have beautiful memories like yours

Well said, true to the core, but those days everything was way less stressful, now if wooden tree house is on fire, one escapes through a dangling tree branch, landed on a bush, watching house on fire, looking at a wild flower, sighing and saying, I just made it, in this circumstance, very hard to build the foundation of new village, still I will try only because you said so, thank you for the excellent review

just plant another tree, surrounded by wild flowers and a few hostas, they like the shade

Even if you deleted, I read it, thank you genius, that is the exact answer, if water comes over head, look for the boat, proud of you

Thank you very much Sami, initial few years used to cry every single Christmas, once I was caught by a colleague while walking out of work place, really hard for me to say why I was crying, it is way better, still miss it, sometimes google the church pictures, at times use google earth to locate the village
