The Sedentary Kind

I envy those happy in their old home-place Where his or her's is a well loved and respected face Well known in their community and greatly admired So many to better things they have inspired, Their children with their spouses and children do live locally As an integral part of the local community Without any desire for to live elsewhere And try out their luck in the big World out there With their lot in life they are satisfied Far more settled than those who travel far and wide In Countries and places far distant from their old Hometown In search of adventure, fortune and renown Compared to the stay at home restless in mind One can only envy them their sense of place the sedentary kind.
