The sweeter things in life
John Clare Stokes
Sometimes someone does for you
a good thing
They know your mothers biscuits
you are missing
Smothered in the cane syrup
You and your father made
So what if they were baked by
Winn Dixie
So what if the cane syrup was
of the Columbia County kind
By the first bite I was once again
at the ole Homewood table
Looking out the screen window
down around the pond the sound
of the blue Ford tractor nearing
Knowing soon it would come
my turn to make the long way
through the pines to time beyond time.
