HEARTH'S CALL

When I chance to go afield
to harvest the wild places' yield
of the myriad sights and sounds
which in this sylvan spot abounds

Matters not how far I stray
once it comes the end of day
like an old trained milking cow
I know where I must head to now

To the warm hearth of my home
at the finish of the long day's roam
and the ever young girl I call wife
with whom I've shared most of my life

No wood here in this poem? Just kidding. But the raw truth is that I really appreciate this attempt very much, but if I had written this piece, my last line would be "To whom I dedicated all my life."
I don't know, but this is just me.

Come now, not all I write is wooded lol. I've given your idea on last line a bit of thought. It seems it would make our life together a bit too much of a one way feel. But I really do appreciate the suggestion and encourage more from you.............stan
