Born an Okie where the sun shines long and the stars shine so bright.
A land where cattle roam free and hearing the call of the white owl at night.
Summer time is very hot but the winters are full of ice and cold.
Spring time the air is sweet and in the fall,falling leaves of gold.
Seeing everyday a field of wild daisies and a family of deer.
The things I see are a wonder and so are the things I hear.
A lake of fish to catch and eat til your hearts content.
Prairies so wide there is always a place for you to vent.
Growing gardens,harvesting hay canning are things to do everyday.
We go to church praise our Lord and bough our heads to pray.
Living here in Prue,Oklahoma is the best place for me.
The people are so friendly there's no place I'ld rather be.

I think I lost a good friend today,
For good? Who knows.
But I will smile and bare it for the remainder of the pain,
Because with all doors that are closed…
Comes and open one.
Though I must stay away
From that recently closed door ,
That caused me so much pain.
Because the more time I spend looking
For that trap door key,
The more time I waist,
Not searching for me.
So continue through open doors,
Don’t let your judgment slack,
Go the way that makes you smile,
And never look back.
Remember how you felt
When your shoe lace broke
As you dressed for school
And you didn't have another
That would have been a good time to
Taste the jam on your bread.
Or the time you bent over and ripped
Your pants not having a jacket or sweater
To hide the cold air from coming in
On your way to work.
That would have been a good time
To taste the jam on your bread.
So just miss one loop hole
And tie it in a knot.
Walk straight and smile
Then call home....
And take a moment
To taste the jam on your bread
And laugh....
Months have passed since I tried to give her this gift..
Not the right time I was sure but still it caused a split..
As time went on and we connected and our letters began...
I kept it close for one day I could try this again...
So there I sat wondering if the time was right...
Threw caution to the wind and she was in my sight..
I handed her this box with a necklace I hoped she would wear..
Purple hearts all in a line with diamond chips that held it there...
Her smile was huge as her eyes filled with tears...
She ran to my arms , a feeling we both hadn't had in years..
So now I feel right on afternoon in May, to know that I brought
so much joy to her today
The sun rises on a beautiful day,
The fog is lifted from my eyes,
The grass has dew, the chipmunks play,
Spirits are lifted to my surprise.
The sun beats down from its high-noon perch,
I greet it instead of cower,
Beautiful is the day I meet without a frightened lurch,
There is a source for this power.
The sun touches down as it sets to the west,
I’m still outside enjoying the day,
With such beauty to see I want to take the time to invest,
I feel no despair holding me sway.
The stars come out twinkling in the night,
The time when I could hide my best,
Now is the time for my lady, who is so right,
And who has put all my fears to rest.
