Poem
When the evening shades cross the sky my heart content for now, and I'm not sure why Sunset, ah, so pretty it is- the laughter of children murmurs and the evening becomes still I feel the breeze on my cheek and I'm just here Yes, I've made it once more from that valley low And it's so easy to appreciate life; always has been though socially I've struggled with my sanity at times And Maybe, just maybe, I don't have to know all the "whys" in life It will madden a country girl, that's or sure Yet my faith in God is abounding for He shows me mercy and grace through His Son Oh Christ, council me when I sway from your way, your truth Let me always show my love because It's the right thing to do Some would say that these evening shades are for lovers, but I think that's not so for with the truth of love comes a covenant before the Lord I know I have good purpose for I was born to Cherokee with a veil and named specially for that My middle name means love, is God given, this name I bear But the Cherokee name me: Little Bird God spoke to me one evening when I walked through the grass He say: Little Bird, Have you ever watched?
