My other one from today.
Home
Apple strudle with fresh pecan
Biscuits soakin in stew
Teapot whistling at full steam
My seat still saved by you
A metal roof in a summer rain
Distant muffled thunder
The screen door slamming out in back
Those sounds make me wonder
How did I get so far away
What makes a man need to roam
How did so much time slip away
That I can never get back home
Bullfrogs croakin on the shore
Canoe on a mountain lake
Crickets chirping in the dark
Children laughin in play
Leafy trees sway in a breeze
Bass rise to a dragonfly
A mama sings a babe to sleep
I sometimes have to sigh
How did I get so far away
What makes a man need to roam
How did so much time slip away
That I can never get back home

What a lovely set of lyrics! Such vivid imagery of lovely memories of the sights and sounds of this man's home. He really should get back. :)

This is very well written, and I think a lot of people can relate. Time slips away so fast!
