Oh Bury Me

https://soundcloud.com/kentucky-gal/2014-09-29-07-50-37098a Oh bury me high upon a peaceful country mountain. By the stream of crystal waters flowing like an endless fountain. With it's emerald green hillside dotted with beautiful wild flowers. And tall pine trees that scent the air in a warm summer shower. Find an old oak tree with branches full for shade. Where the little birds sing to me from nests they have made. Oh bury me 'neath the sun so warm and bright. Where the moon shines full on a starlit night. Close to my beloved country cabin made of log. To be watched and protected by my faithful hound dog. Oh bury me 'neath Gods great cathedral of blue. Where eternal sleep is peaceful and true.

Hi Mary, another favourite of mine, both listening and reading. Excellent as always my Kentucky Rose. Such a peaceful and tender write. Another winner leaves your pen and goes onto your page. It always manages to bring a tear to my eye but it is a good tear i must say. This has to be a seven and a fave. Love always....Mike. XXX

So much beauty here... Not only of what is so well described, but also of being happy where we are - wherever that is.
