COUNTRY MEMORIES
I walked through many fields in youthful days.
My dog and I crossed many pastures.
Through wooded groves and cotton fields,
we'd roam under a hot Texas sun.
We'd bask in the peaceful countryside
while hunting for small game.
I enjoyed watching the flight of a lone eagle
soaring above in a clear blue sky,
his sharp eyes scanning the ground for prey.
What a pleasure it was to listen to the crows
chatter nosily in the distance, and to hear
the clear, whistling song of a meadowlark.
How I long to relive those golden days--
a time when life was simple on the farm
and youthful innocence grew with nature,
in fields, pastures, and woods of home.
I recall the muddy creeks and blueberry patches
where my dog and I once roamed.
It's nice to enjoy memories of the past,
of a time that never seemed to last.
Some things in your heart will change,
but, deep inside is that youth that
never forgets those country memories.
