• You’d find wide open fields for anyone,
    and trees with low branches for everyone to climb

    You’d find characters from all the books I’ve read
    from Junie B. Jones to Bella Swan

    You’d find each and every kind of poetry,
    for I love each and every one

    You’d find a river of Trouble and Sadness and Vain,
    and a sea of Wonder and Curiosity and Pain

    You’d find music that makes you want to sit
    and music that makes you want to dance

    You’d find dogs and cats that never fight,
    and snakes and sharks that never bite

    You’d find mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers
    and aunts and uncles and cousins, too

    You’d find people and memories of people,
    and all will be there to welcome you in

    For in my heart, you are welcome
    and I’d love to have you there within.
