Sweetheart
On a white post fence
Under the glowing sun
During the middle
Of the day
By myself
In my heart, I think
About you.

Friend
After our meeting
Through the years
With you
Beside me
Along the unknown road
During rough times
By each other’s side
We made it together
Against all odds

Mr. Pyle’s Bluegrass Get AwayUnderneath the shady pine tree
By the gentle relaxing pond
Apart from the hustle and bustle of a busy world
Out of pocket
With technology
Except for my dumb cell phone
Because of my need
For physical and mental healing
I enjoy camping, fishing, and bluegrass-bluegrass-bluegrass
