I remember the woods Being right outside our back door Smokey and I Would head out for a adventure He always ran way ahead Chasing everything It was warm That wonderful kind of warm Where you know Everything is alright Love birds chasing each other in the trees Both knowing there is going to be a happy ending And me I am dreaming of my new girlfriend That would be any girl who smiled at me In my field of dreams I am the king And everyone loves me But ole Smokey is gone now And the woods are rows and rows of houses But when the mood is just right And I am all alone I can close my eyes Pat ole Smokey on the head And hear my mother off in the distance Randy it’s time to eat My mother passed away last night. It was sudden and we were not expecting it. When I first wrote this poem I bought some nice paper and printed up a copy for my mom with the fancy font. When my mom read it she cried, when I wrote it I cried. I never cried when my dad died but now that my mom has died I can’t stop crying. We had a very hard life. I know one thing for sure if you get a jewel in your crown for every hardship you face in this life then in heaven my mom is a queen among queens. Please keep me and my family in your thoughts Randy
