Picture Perfect

(PICTURE PERFECT ) - THANK YOU For the winds that blow the rain to the dry And thirsting crops of July; For the hopeful song of my woman there With a sleeping baby in a rocking chair; And for her eyes so clear and the way they change - Strangely familiar, and familiarly strange; And for the smells of new baked bread As the kids get sleepily out of bed; And for cold mountain streams - Tasting better than the elixirs of dreams; And for a friendship remembered from long ago Fondly cherished before we had to go.
