Kick Up A Little Dirt



Come on boy take my hand and kick up a little dirt with me
Blue jean overalls, faded ball cap, scuffed boots is what I want to see
Let’s turn a wrench on that sweet old Ford wood truck
Jump on the four wheeler, head for the mud, let’s get stuck

I want to practice calling in a massive turkey
Lay in the grass at night, holding hands in where I want to be
Can we cast a line across a lake that’s smooth as glass
We’ll count fireflies as the sunsets while we make our way back

I want to work beside you planting for a new season
Hold onto one another close and gaze into each other’s eyes for no reason
Say our prayers each night as we lay sweetly together
Lets kick up a little dirt, the we in us keeps getting better

I haved live in Georgia all my life. I have four beautiful children and five grandchildren,an amazing man in my life named Scott. God has also blessed me with many loving family members and friends. God has blessed me in so many ways and I want to share with others how amazing he is and the grace that he wants to bestow on others. I have been writing since I was a little girl, it has always helped me to express myself whether it was during a storm or a victory in my life. My prayer is that my poems will help someone who may be going through a storm or celebrate a vicotry in life. more…
