Long Pine

Sometimes I miss her terribly I feel it in my soul I stand outside and look at stars And watch as night clouds scroll Across a dark and boundless sky As crickets chirp a song That sings of one who's pining For her whom he does long She's nestled deep inside my heart Though no one knows she's there She's always with me where I go And all of me I share I take her out for coffee I fly her on a plane I play for her by river banks I shelter her in rain And though these things are in my mind Someday they might not be And if that day should ever come Ecstatic I would be
