Jerry Brotherton Poet Rhyme

I'M Here To Stay

The dazzling splash of color,
as the sun’s rays start to go.
The sound of children’s laughter,
as it drifts through my window.

The sparkling of a log fire,
halos circling the full moon.
A billion stars a twinkling,
katydids humming their tune.

The croaking of some bullfrogs.
the singing of a night bird.
All the sounds of happiness,
without uttering a word.

I was made in Missouri,
a backwoods Missouri man.
Got a strong Missouri gal,
wearing my gold wedding band 

I’ve traveled around the world,
found some places I called home.
But I’m back in Missouri,
and never more shall I roam.

Debx Jerry Brotherton September 9, 2023 at 8:17 AM My wife and I have always been wanderers. But as we get older, the more we enjoy taking life slow and easy. Rocking on the back porch watching the birds is a great life for us now.
