Up, Up and Away!

3 weeks.

That was how long I'd shunned The Place.

As luck would have it, the familial (nope, not a typo there) faces greeted me just as I strode in.

I'd go into hiding to recover occasionally but I'd not give up God for You.

This is The Place where I'd grown up;

my comfort and shelter;

my refuge in time of need.

There are memories forged way before our paths crossed;

Of faces now weathered,

Of smiles and joy.

You cannot take these away from me.

They're mine for keeps.

Amen.
