A Land that Flows with Milk and Honey?

Across the vale the bells now ring
As down the country lane I stroll;
So thrilled at what my life doth bring -
Much joy I feel in heart and soul.

And there, the far-famed Honey-Land,
Its bees I hear, quite near me now -
Across the lane from where I stand,
So sweet the honey, so rich, I vow.

Through Etton charming now I stroll,
Such peace is here I do declare!
Sacred indeed in heart and soul -
St Mary’s Church I see, so fair.

The sun’s so warm, the air’s quite still,
Happy I feel and oh so free!
Now up the lane and past the mill -
What more can life provide for me?

And on I walk, but now I pause,
Upon the bridge – with line no more -
To Kiplingcotes and York it was,
A trail that ramblers now explore.

On top I stand and view the scene,
Of countryside and distant Wold;
At peace I am, so blessed I’ve been,
To see its beauty now unfold.

Beyond the track now I gaze,
‘Tis Field House Farm upon my right;
I see their cattle softly graze -
Their milk renowned – gives much delight!

Across the fields of waving corn,
A sweetly scented breeze, so soft,
Now rustles the leaves of trees above,
That gently whisp and sigh aloft.

A land that flows with milk and honey?
‘Tis true for some –but sad I feel
For those who live on streets so bleak,
Whose lives society’s wrongs reveal.

Love creativity - especially writing - poems especially. Love my wife, cats, our church, reading, warm weather (so rare here!) and snow - quite common these days - even in spring....
