Southern Skies

Eyes that reside in Southern skies



See the world, so differently


Bending minds to humbler times


And reminiscent most significantly






About the beauty of calmer days


When tomorrow came as expected


Not in persistence of blurred haze


In varied moments most reflective






Oh to feel that bright Southern sun


With an infrequent Northern breeze


When words spoken once, then done


"Thank you""Yes Ma'am" and "Please"






Frequented neighbors and our kin


With voices and help , never distant


Till brutal came, that Northern wind


Destroying the calm, in an instant






Whatever the reason, providence fell


The winds and breezes now yearning


Feed the fire, that forge the bell


Of Southern pride, now burning
