
Tap, tap, tap. I walk down the
street of my home town….In
one breath I inhale memories
of Sunday picnics, family
reunions, and hopscotch
afternoons….I look down at
the old brick road and could
swear it smiled at me,
welcoming me and telling me
to remember the sunny days
when my friends and I
skipped and changed, the lap
of strawberries dazzling our
tongues…(Kirch, “I’m Home”).
