Bask In The Light

I love your face in the morning

I always have and will

With the day light

Bathing your features

Your eyelids

As they hold that look just for me

Your nose

As life breathes across my skin

Your lips

As they contain that smile made for me

Your ears

As they listen for my stirring from sleep

Sleep a little longer

As I bask in your light

Prairie Walk

Hurry up and go

Lets do the prairie walk


We met at the dance

Did the foolish young thing

We married in a week

Worked our humps

To the bone

Put away some bacon

Made the kids

Moved to the prairie

Our old farmhouse

Cows in pasture

Golden grass’ for miles

An ol Missy Fergy under cover

The kids moved on

Making bacon themselves

Ya Hoo we’re on our own

With Gran’kids we can send home

Being yuppies of stature

We did a makeover

Calico Kitchens and straw walls

Then with a 25 year investment

I caught you rolling in the hay

On our living room floor

With the makeover queen

A fine young Martha wannabe

You tell me it’s not the first

Well tip my cow

Damn this flat land

I can still see your butt leaving

A month after you left

Walking out on the prairie

Hurry up and go

Lets do that prairie walk

That is what I get for living on the prairie

Flatlander wannabe man on man…

You can see a dog

30 days after it runs away

I’m moving to a mountain

Now I am Prairie Walking
