“Country Song”
Gonna sing you an old country song, from the heart
So I can cry your name and call you when I’m sad
When you have gone, run so far from me in the trees so far
Walkin’ down that old country lane, drops of rain
Call upon the ones who call your name
Will I see you again and please just come on back home to me
So I’m not all alone
Gonna sing you an old country song, from the heart
From the strings of this old rusty guitar
by Jake Bugg
So hot today we walked and walked
Towards the water to keep cool
And laughed~
Found a spider sitting on a rock
Or was it really a poor mean eyed – sad eyed croc?
~ Or am I in the shallows of a cool dark cave?
In a salt filled secret grotto
Near miles and miles of golden sands
In some far off summer place
Looking back…..
Gill McGrath© 1 July SOooo hot today 32c in shade mid-day

Gill McGrath© June 30 so sunny and hot today
Jack flew away.
Then there was one.
One fluffy baby sitting in the sun!

Yes it’s you who wrote the words
today across the sky
three simple lines~
And I can still remember
the words you said
in reception class
by the silver-sand tray
we were
both five years old
you and me

Summer
Evening
Two voices
Under a tree
Laughter
A daisy
Held high
In a tease
Like mistletoe
Then silence
No laughter
Light fading
And a little voice
Saying
Do you love me?
