First Deer

Hiding behind an oak tree, picking at my nose.
All that I've seen, are a bunch of skittish does
Last nights dinner of canned beans and dry bread,
Are talking to me loudly, and the smell is quite dread.
Finally got me settled, now I'm havin' to go pee.
Woodpeckers and Bluejays are clearly mocking me.
My butts gotten flat from sittin, I can no longer feel my feet.
Now I'm a wishin I had brought a comfy seat.
My stomachs a growlin, like a roarin' freight train
If I sit here much longer I'll likely go insane.
Everything seems buck-like in this crazy sun light
Why, you ask? do I do this year to year...
It's for that one chance to say...I shot my first deer.

Mountain of Mystery

I Know Not Where

I Know Not Where

Shot an arrow up in the air
somewhere It landed, I know not where.
Searched for hours high and low.
The sun and grass are quite my foe.
This single arrow all on its own,
I tried so hard to bring you home.
I finally gave up and decided your free
in my quiver you weren't meant to be.

Beach Star

Conch Shell

Conch Shell

Conch shell, conch shell on the beach
I see the waves that you can't reach
Your clothes of white, pink and gold
All your wrinkles make you look so old
Your were a home for some little guy
Who hides from those who fly in the sky
I'd pick you up, and take you home
But there you'd sit, all alone

Hang On, Rainbow

In thought

Spring

Spring

When the rain drops fall
And the birds all sing
When the flowers start to bloom
The caterpillars take wing
When the air warms up
And we all go to swim
When we go to the lake
And we all jump in

Gum

Gum

Oh no, I'm in trouble
I just blew a big, big bubble.
it was big, it was round,
if it popped, oh what a sound.
It would pop all over my face,
My, oh my, what a disgrace.
It was sweet, maybe berry,
If I'm right, i thinks its cherry.

Around The Corner

Around The Corner

Around the corner, through the dirt,
Mud splattering all over my shirt.
Around the corner, around the bend,
I hope this fun will never end.
Roar up the hill, and down the other side,
This is what I call a fun filled ride.
Around the corner, watch the wheels peel out
This is what riding is all about.
Over a bump and into the grass,
That's when the go-cart ran out of gas.

No Regrets

NO REGRETS

DEAR TO MY HEART IS MY LITTLE BOY,
YOU SEEM SO FAR AWAY.
THE TIME THAT YOU ARE DISTANT MAKES
FOR SAD, AND LONELY DAYS.

YOU ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER,
AND YOUR HEART IS BOUND TO MINE.
BUT MY WEEKS WITHOUT YOU SEEM SO
LONG, EVEN IN THIS SHORT OF TIME.
I LOVE YOU MONTY VERY MUCH,
OUR BONDING STARTED 7 YEARS AGO.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NO ONE CAN TAKE
NO MATTER THE WORDS THAT THEY THROW.
REMEMBER, I LEFT DADDY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
I WANTED YOU TO SEE RIGHT FROM WRONG.
YOU MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOW BUT
I HOPE YOU’LL SEE BEFORE LONG.

MY WISH FOR YOU TO SEE,
GOOD EXAMPLES OF GENTLENESS AND LOVE.
TO LEARN TO RESPECT, HONOR AND OBEY.
YOU’LL BE REWARDED BY THOSE YOU LOVE.

SO MY BELOVED MONTY,
LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH NO REGRETS.
LET US BE HAPPY FOR TODAY.
REMEMBER I LOVE YOU AND
WANT FOR YOU THE BEST.

YOUR MOM
