Did you meet anyone?
Did you meet anyone, where did you go?
Did you stop to chat to someone you know?
Was the sun shining brightly, as you ambled your way,
Did you learn something new, about where you stood,
To those you spoke to, was their tale good,
Did you talk about history, fables, and tales,
Old murders and mysteries hauntings and tales,
Of people who worked hard while toiling their land,
Farmers and gentry, of foxes and hounds,
Who chases who in the bid to survive,
While the chased and the chaser try staying alive.
Did you meet anyone was it someone you knew,
Did they know of your family your history you?
Did you travel afar all over the county,
Watch all that grew, so vast a bounty,
Planted by all who wish to recall,
Heroes to yet come after those who would fall,
Did you meet anyone, was it good to head out,
Find old and new friends scattered about,
Of all you have met their stories please share,
Tell us all, as if we were there?
In your time and place you are never alone,
We tune in and listen. For this is our home.
