[hometext] => This is something I wrote for a friend.
[bodytext] => One day Past the age of twenty eight And she was lonely and she was late For work again She cries more now that she ever has Life has got her wishing for more than she’s ever had He comes home, half past twelve, cracks that beer and fall asleep on the couch. She works all night and cleans all day She has got no one but, him and she is not O.K. Tell me why Tell me why does this girl not get away? Tell me why She has no ties Tell me why She doesn’t walk away today? Her mother lives in Virginia and she’s in Tennessee Her brother, William is in Memphis but, that’s still far away Now this poor girl could call them both, they’d take her in and she could live again But, she won’t No, she won’t She’s got her dead end job and her dishes to do. She’s got to walk the dog and bathe him too She’s got everything and nothing for herself and yet she stays. Tell me why Tell me why doesn’t she just take off? Tell me why When old rover is old and gray anyway? Tell me why? She doesn’t walk away today? The shop is closing and she turns to leave and as she goes she pockets the key To her dead end job She takes the long way at a brisk pace and the air feels cool on her face She thinks back on the last year The bills are piling up and the future isn’t clear We don’t know why and we don’t how But there is a smiling on her face now. She closes her eyes and she breaths real deep She goes home and she goes to sleep. Her pleasure was real Her smile was true She’s a good lil’ girl and her life is too She loves her man and she loves her dog and she likes her job when it pays off It’s a hard life but, she’s making her way The best way she knows how She’s thankful for the sun in a day! Tell me why? Tell me why should she be unhappy if she is in love? Tell me why? When life gets tough the tougher get tougher and she is tough Tell me why? The sun is still shining and the worlds looking gold, she doesn’t have everything she wants but, she’s not old. She is still young and she will keep trying and she makes love and she keeps buying And paying those bills She’ll get caught up and call her first baby Jill. Married and wed six years down the road There’s a baby on the way and she was told It’s a little girl and she is going to be sweet They are buying a house and she got days and the house is neat. I was happy to hear it and I am happy to know that things are going good for them both. She’s cheered up and it cheered me, I had to write it all down because it was so sweet. So now, I’ll tell you Tell you why happiness is so easy I’ll tell you why There’s no excuse for living life without that smile I’ll tell you why Just living is worth the while. Because there are good boys and sweet dogs and kids on the way, there are nice houses and good friends and love in everything.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
