Analysis of The Village.

Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)



Within the village where I live,
Flowers bloom each day,
Season's change to many colors,
It is truly a beautiful way,

I walk the path made of stone,
And think of you, I do,
Recalling beautiful memories,
The one's that were so true,

As the sun begins to set,,
A tear of mine may fall,
But even if this is so,
The love from you I will call,

Within the village where I live,
I walk the path of stone,
The sun has now began to set,
I know I am not alone.
