Old Campfire Memories Still Endure

Old Campfire Memories Still Endure Come sit with me around the crackling fire every night camp needs its burning glow Of Nature's forest exploring I never tire often with my faithful dog Midnight in tow Fair weather is the prayer always prayed when granted comforts this old brain Fire soothes when bad weather is delayed we campers dearly hate the pouring rain Rain and wind kill all peace of mind soft, easy night with fire to thrill Talk, laughter and joy we always find fire comforts when the night is still Overhead sparkles a smooth clear sky glittering stars dance with our flames We accept the beauty asking not the why talk of old friends, honoring their names Tales of the whale sized fish we caught hunts where we bagged so much wild game Such memories can never ever be bought if they could would never be the same Come sit with me around the crackling fire every night camp needs its burning glow Of Nature's forest exploring I never tire often with my old faithful dog in tow Robert J.
