Mmeso Inspires: A Place Called “Loveland”

There was a hamlet, at the far end of the world.

Beside the river of Ruby and the mountain of peace.

Where there are less worries and pain.

A hamlet which I have grown to love.

Which had become intrinsic with my soul.

There was a place, at the far end of the earth.

A place called “Loveland” where I sat to eat on the floor, licking my fingers clean and clear of mama’s special delicacy.

A place where there is much love just like water flowing from the rocks.

Cool water, clean water, and pure water.

A place where there is no competition and even when I stumble, I got a pat on the back to stand up and continue.

A place which I always look forward to whenever I am away from it.

A place so real like life.

“There is a paradise at the far end of the earth, beside the river of ruby and mountain of peace, a place called home”.

I looked at her, smiling I said “A place called Loveland”.
