Honky Tonk Saloon That Rainy Afternoon

What a surprise, you and I

Rain falling from the darkened sky.

A little high on saloon whiskey

Songs running though our veins.

We snuggled close making love

 In that tiny tinseled room above.

The rodeo over that sultry afternoon

Ride Em’ cowboys dancing below

To the glow of high heeled girls

In dresses of silk made for show.

The hands of men

In Stetson hats

Twirling woman hard and fast.

Colored strobes whirling around

Balloons dangling down from globes

Keys to the rooms inside

Pop! Bang! Boom!

 Watch them go.

 Quite a time we had

At the old Honky Tonk Saloon

That rainy afternoon.

...You R The Joy...In My Life

    Anna and Cora, I look at your faces and know how loved you are. Your eyes dance and smile and your laughter follows you from room to room.  You R the joy in my life and Grandpa's.The minute you were born, life changed and it will never be the same. You are the Joy. Baby balls,striped halls,  fairy tales, giggles and snuggles, a princess in a party dress, a hug, a kiss, a story about a little bug. You R Joy and You R Loved...
