(( "Sure a little bit o' heaven fell
from out the sky one day..." ))
.....Old Irish Song

Somewhere
in the south of Texas
that grandest place
is a "little bit of heaven,"
as the song says
about Erin and maybe it too
fell from the skies one day
I have never been there
but hope to make it
someday ah, just to
rest and absorb the
beauty, peace,
and solitude...of the
Place
O they say.
those who know--
that it is a Land
of milk and honey,
perennial green grass,
gnarled old oaks,
pecans to be picked...
gardens with food,
grazing cows and
plucking chickens...
And a beautiful pond
full of jumping catfish,
and crappies and
green wing teals have
been known to zoom
over it...
It is said to be
a Texas Glocca Morra---
a Beulah Land yes heavenly!
And they tell
there is an old avuncular
scientist some say he's
quirky-- but lovable--
who hangs out there
fishing and growing plants
and is seen walking
his grounds...
And they say,
the peaches growed there--
are to die for...
Where is this place, you ask?
Well, I'd tell you if I could
but I'm not even sure
I could find it and I think
its direction
is sort of a secret.
