Ode to the Country

I want to live with you in the country

Just like Robert Frost poetry

Where life moves as the wind takes it

I want to live with you in the country

 breathe fresh air, as we wake

  play with you on  pristine snow;

Skate on frozen ponds, like children 

  till it gets too dark to see

We’ll make our own roads to travel on,

 And be contented vagabonds

I want to live with you in the country

 love you, loud and hard, and wake the dogs  

 On cold winter nights,

then watch our lantern's flame

burn bright, in shades of gold      

and shadows dancing

outside our window 

on snow covered Evergreens

our skin clinging under warm blankets

I want to live with you in the country,

 Smell the fragrance of strawberry 

 in your hair, after you shower

 I want to live with you in the country

Feed on your fresh baked pecan pie

and sip lemonade

on lazy summer afternoons
