I started writing this a few years back and while I don't know what happened to the original version the main theme sticks in my head so I wrote it again even though I'm pretty sure it still ain't finished.

One of these Days

One of these days I'm going back home
and take me a walk where the green grass grows
build me a house for this love of mine
by the sycamore trees, the cedars and pines

a sweet little house where we both can live
to share all the love that we have to give
a white picket fence with flowers on the sill
down by the creek Granddaddy's old still

come on pretty baby don't you want to go
I'll take ya there with me down the old dirt road
I'll give you a kiss where it feels so good
we'll do all the things we only wish we could

push back the veil reveal the mystery
my Woman right beside me making history
singing sweet songs the broken heart heals
the hand of the Almighty will be breaking the seals

One of these days I'm gonna marry you
take ya by the hand when you say I do
build us a bed with the sky up above
fill your arms with a heart full of love

a big front porch with twelve rocking chairs
the laughter of children will be filling the air
a well tended garden with food on the vine
I bring these gifts to this love of mine

One of these days I'll be calling your name
trying your heart and tugging your reins
then you'll know it is with you I stand
as we make our way to the promised land.

come on pretty baby don't you want to go?
I'll take ya there with me down the old dirt road
I'll give you a kiss where it feels so good
we'll do all the things we only wish we could....

~ Oh, Joe! What woman could ask for more?!? I hope that all of your dreams came true!

Actually, I wanted to quote the entire poem! It was so tender, romantic, and downright heart-touching!

Big hug,
Linda

Thanks Linda, your poetry moves me too!

I was thinking when I read your new one how similar our themes really are and I bet if we ever had a really deep conversation our dreams for this life would fall right in line.

"come on pretty baby don't you want to go?
I'll take ya there with me down the old dirt road
I'll give you a kiss where it feels so good
we'll do all the things we only wish we could...." What a great sense of cadence in this stanza. I like the fact that it was repeated in the poem. Thanks for sharing

Dear kindred spirit, re your comment to me, I do believe you are correct in that assumption! That is probably why effjayel thought that we would appreciate each other's poetry! ~ and he was right!
