250428 Moving

We were always on the move.

Between the navy and businesses afterword
we were like a thundering herd
we would get settled in a new home
then after a while it was again time to roam
we’d pack our bags and furniture
where we’d land, we were never sure
we’d go with where the wind would take us
hoping the next place wouldn’t financially break us
five different times to California, the golden state
two times to Tennessee and they were great
two times back to Missouri our home
that last trip and from there we no longer would roam
in every state we moved more than one time
hoping that up a notch on the ladder we would climb
after Joyce passed away
I sit here alone, wondering where will I move again and finally stay
that's where I’ll be until my final day.
I have lost my count on the number of moves, but the last I can remember was 29 different places.
