gray haired woman in a penney's dress, he called her mama when a boy and mom when a man she drives an old chevy with no caps on the wheels called it blue after the paint faded from navy down a street called main, over behind the tracks by the hardware store and military surplus she stops at a market, called watkins grocery where the coke machine has a water fountain on the side to buy a rose called freedom from millie or bob behind the counter, they sell flowers too and pays with two bills called ones that she saves for the third of july every year since 68' she drives down a road called peaceful, past the church where she and her son used to sing to stop at a park called rest haven, where the oaks are full of blackbirds nearly year round to visit her only son called sam, on his birthday and leave the rose on his stone, called beloved ©Dark (sam was one of the many boys lost in nam to keep freedom and america alive. btw..UNDER GOD stays in my pledge, sam earned the right for me to keep it) [This message has been edited by Dark Stranger (07-03-2002 09:45 AM).] |
