Letter To Home

You must think there’s some big reason

I took this time to write

Cards and letters, there’ve been too few of those

I just stopped and realized how long that I’ve been gone

And there’s a few small things I need to know

Dear Daddy

Do the whippoorwills still echo through the night

Does the sound of silence squeeze the morning light

Has granddad caught the big one in the pond just down the road

I miss you so

Time keeps a right on slippin’ by me

Like the miles out on the road

But I don’t guess I’d change my way of life

There’s no harm in holdin’ memories

So please tell me if you can

I’d like to bring those old times in to sight

Dear Mama

Can you still find the dipper in the stars

Do the roads still go for hours without cars

Does the frost still shine cold mornings

On the grass outside the door

Just like before – Tell me more

Is Sis still planning marriage sometime soon

Can you still reach out and almost touch the moon

Do the old songs still ring out

Through the hills for days and days

Love always
