Tim Ryerson Poet Rhyme

Carolyn's Christmas Card

I been feelin' so MAD and sad and blue
Had all that I feared finally come true?
All my dreams up in smoke, burnt up and charred
(Carolyn just sent me a Christmas card)

Aw, what's the damn use? The Devil's got hold
So tired of the game; I think I'll just fold
Found the right path but the gate has been barred
(Carolyn just sent me a Christmas card)

Read one line and cracked an overdue smile
(I guess I could do at least ONE more mile)
Helping me see that it's SIMPLE, not hard
(Carolyn just sent me a Christmas card)

Carolyn Devonshire December 6, 2009 at 1:46 AM You know I'll always be there when you want to talk, Tim. Sometimes just a simple gesture of friendship and admiration can mean so much to us when we are feeling down. It touches my heart that this card meant so much to you. Looking forward to my trip to Texas in January and the opportunity to meet you along the way. Much love, Carolyn
