The House By the Side of the Road

__________________________________________
THERE are hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the place of their self-content;
There are souls like stars, that dwell apart,
In a fellowless firmament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze the paths
Where highways never ran-
But let me live by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
Where the race of men go by-
The men who are good and the men who are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat
Nor hurl the cynic's ban-
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the road
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor of hope,
The men who are faint with the strife,
But I turn not away from their smiles and tears,
Both parts of an infinite plan-
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead,
And mountains of wearisome height;
That the road passes on through the long afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
And still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice
And weep with the strangers that moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of the road
Like a man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side of the road,
Where the race of men go by-
They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish - so am I.
Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
Sam Walter Foss

Farm Dreams

OK here are some pictures of the farm we are trying to buy. The house isn't crooked , I am. You can't see it very well but there is a beautiful front porch on the house. the other 2 pictures are from the road because I have been by so often the neighbors will start to report me for stalking the house. The others are the barn and a view over all the property from the property edge. You can't see the 2 ponds or the giant hedgerow of blueberry and raspberry plants. The apple trees are full. So please keep praying for our house to sell! Everything is in place , we just need to sell. I have no idea how I underlined all this and I can't seem to get it to go away . The computer must know how important this is to me!
