If He Could Say It....

If He Could Say It

I went out to the field, momma.

I thought about getting something you would like.

I got no money,

I got no job.

After all, I'm just a little tyke.

Got chased by the dog on my way to the field.

Tripped on a hole in the drive as I did.

Got mud on my jeans and my shoes are all scuffed.

I did it 'cause I love you so much.

I found in the field: A few rocks, and a stick,

a flower, some grass and dried straw.

I gathered it up

and now, "Here ya go."

'Cause you're my most favorite of all.
