Orange Hill
John Clare Stokes
What is your attraction Orange Hill?
that keeps us coming,your spanse to fill?
Is it that we all know one another
Or knew others who knew each other?
Is it the mother’s with the brothers
and sisters and the fathers with the
cousins and the ones we casually knew?
Who came for a season to our dwellings
to fix the plumbing or adjust the TV
or take our money in the teller windows,
who sat beside us in the pew on Sunday
and bagged our groceries on Monday?
What is your attraction Orange Hill?
Seems the longer I come the more I know
gathering here and the less I know
living so near.
