Gregory Richard Barden Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Tumble

tumble, little tumbleweed
come play ‘round my feet
I’ll dote my cares upon you
midst tenderness, replete

tumble, little tumbleweed
until you've found a place
devote time to appreciate
the treasures you embrace

tumble, little tumbleweed
dance your wonders, wild
tho’ I call you tumbleweed
you’re but my dearest child

tumble, little tumbleweed
learn and dream and grow
I'll love you thru the Evers 
though I will watch you go

tumble, little tumbleweed
strong and straight and true
now I must let you tumble on
please kiss me, sweet, adieu

tumble, little tumbleweed …

tumble.
