I Got The Blues

"A Red River Home"

I Got The Blues

Life can be so hard sometimes, trying to get it right, trying to please everyone. My home in Louisiana holds my heart. Within the walls of my ole house are some very happy times.

There are two empty rocking chairs....waiting for our return.

You Fit Me Just Fine

I pulled my rocking chair next to yours on the porch
and tried to remember how your hand held mine
nothing was ever orderly in my life
so I guess you fit in just fine.

I never told you my real age, and I don't know why
I suppose because you were younger than me
a woman's fear of passing time,
but you always did fit in just fine.

I knew from the start we needed each other for support
so to leave would make it hard for you to stand
so hard for me to make a decison that is right
but baby you always did fit in just fine.

There is a whole lot more road now from me to you
than there was when I lived 3000 miles away
just a memory somewhere back there in my mind
but baby you always did fit in just fine.

HOME

Cycles

I watch the line of trees down the drive
bending in the evening breeze
the wind pushing softly against unyielding arms.

Soon the rain will come from black clouds
gathering so near
they press the heat onto our shoulders.

There is no lights left in the sky
just a sepia glow
outlining the trees and casting shadows over all.

The bugs fly at the lights as they seek their demise
hitting the glass like pellets
do they know they will die, and just can't help it.

It is time to watch the Red bird feeding their last meal
for this eve and then head home to the nest,
day is done and with the night comes peaceful thought.

All things change in time, nothing stays the same forever
there is a right time
and a season for love, I hope I wasn't asleep and missed it.

How's the Weather?

I guess it could have been sunny, but it decided to rain
keeps the grass growing greener out on the plain
and the puddles are welcome to that family of ducks
but my lawn mower gets rusty so I just put it up..

The kids don't mind staying in for another day
they read books and try their best to stay out of my way
my work is my best when the skies turn dark and forlorn
but I get so emotional when the sky is tattered and torn.

The Magnolia has one blossom, wonder what happened to the rest
my mind dwells on things others would just take in jest
got to bring my thoughts back to my world day to day
can't keep the kids off in the distance, forever at bay.

Yes, the sky is definitely thinking ominous thoughts on this day
the windchimes have long since tinkled merrily in play
what's brewing out there now makes the clothes dance on the line
time to batten the hatches and shut down the computer one more time.
