MY HOME IS MY CASTLE
by Robert Washburn
My eyes are dim; I cannot see
the grandeur standing in front of me.
My mind can see each stone in place;
foundations deep frame the base.

sTONES uPON THE HILL
by mEGAN FOY
Imagine a castle.
What images fill your mind?
Do you imagine royal, majestic towers of stone?
Home to a king, or perhaps the nest of a dragon?
Maybe you think of a magical domain of wizards and heroes.
Or, perhaps you think of stones upon a hill.
