MY LOVE

MY LOVE


I've been gone awhile now
I left you years ago
You probably hadn't noticed
Things have been so slow;
I guess by now it's better
That I left when I did
Because if I had stayed
I'd probably just be dead.

You always kept me sheltered
From the heat & rain
You often rocked me to sleep
To dull away my pain;
The work I did was stressful
The daily grind was hard
I saw a simpler, easy life
Like a Hallmark card.

And so I moved far away
And left you in September
Still, when Autumn comes around
I always can remember;
How you smelled in April
How you felt in Fall
And always in December
I recall y'all.

So don't think for a moment
That I've forgotton you
Because when I'm on my knees
When I am sometimes blue;
Thinking of time gone by
There's not a single day
That I don't miss you, darlin'
My love........the USA.
