Dirt Roads

country dirt roads – this walk is not the same without you - right here – by me – the twig I trip over is you - over – this bridge – the memories of the past times look up – past the trees – and to the left – the broken house that you lived in - good times was all we had – concrete slabs spray painted - leaves me pictures of you - I patiently wait… (the place we played) for you - I silently pray…(you'll find a way) for you - the top – of this tree – where we could see for miles - stories – of the times – the testimonies of our lives - smell the air – take a breath – fall asleep and listen in - we learn a lot from experiences, but it's no good if we don't change. - good times was all we had – concrete slabs spray painted - leaves me pictures of you - I patiently wait… for you - I silently pray… for you close your eyes (It's time to move on to the new.) - hold on tight (forget the past, forget old 'you'.) - we'll be alright (look to the new pasture.) - close your eyes (the past won't meet your future.) - the field – the creek - where the fort we built I think still lay - crooked branches with our names - still engraved - they'll stay the same.
