It was the trees that whispered softly of the truth As I sat quietly beneath the shadows of the blazing fire Anticipating fear while my Pa told his stories In the distance the chirping of cricket legs Sung sweetly, not to disturb the night but to entice it In hopes their orchestra would be complete Our tent, fit for two, sat gaping in awe waiting to be fed by our bodies While sleep comforted me with slow yawns Tomorrow Pa will take me fishing Real simple the Southern way, Jig and line You just might catch something |
