Meet Rachel
there’s a place where i can go
where i can feel at home
where i know i am loved
there she waits
with something freshly baked
and a fresh gallon of sweet tea
you are welcome always
she will always welcome you
for she is the epitome of southern hospitality
her smile radiates as she greets
her arms wrap around you
in a heart-felt, generous hug
you can go to this place anytime
you are down home there
for you are in the bosom of
Written for Rachel–my friend–with love, on her birthday.
Happy Birthday, Darling!
