Little Joe

Where did you go little Joe? I see the seasons and I fear the change. and in my life I think it,s time for rearranging. Time to take things slow Where did you go little Joe? The timber wolf howls in the pine he knows the seasons and it's time to die. My life's been empty; more then you could know Where did you go little Joe? I pray and yearn that you are fine may Jesus keep you in his hand. The years have run away to soon My life is like drifting sand I've only reaped what I have sown: Where did you go little Joe?

A brother perhaps comes to mind. I have an older missing brother this poem reminds me of. A wonderfully composed reflective poem Allen. : )

very smooth flowing poem. Just like Caren, my mind went right to that awesome character from Bonanza. but also I realized it was probably someone important in your life named Joe. That happens to be my hubbie's name except he is not little!!

Thank you for your comment Andrea. I don't know who little Joe is. Somehow the beginning came into my mind and the rest developed from there.

I have no idea whether John nailed this, and you are speaking of Little Joe Cartwright, or if you just mean "the child-part of yourself" who is in hiding. Either way, it is a great poem and I watch "Highway to Heaven" almost every night, for Little Joe is an angel in that one.
