Farmer’s Market Love

Are there places you go that bring a smile to your face?
A sense of happy settles over your soul. A place that regardless who is there,
Feels like home?

Wandering the closed streets of the Farmer’s Market, I feel alive
I breathe deep to savor the smells.
I push and jostle in line for a taste of that famous fudge.

Creations grown from the soul, the market celebrates the artist’s wares
Delighted as I pick out a one-of-kind wire-wrapped necklace

I can feel the happy settle over me as I explore the market
My smile explodes at each new find!
The market grounds my soul. I feel home!
