The sun was not always shining
the road was not always smooth.
If you’ve forgotten the hard times
then we should do a review.

Mommy always called me Gypsy
after Gypsy Rose Lee.
Seems I loved high-heels and jewelry
they fascinated me.
...
It's spring-time life is 'springing' forth
it's the time of all new birth
It almost takes one's breath away
as life erupt's on planet earth.
...
I'll see you on the otherside;
that doesn't ease my pain today.
For now I'm missing my dear friend;
much more than words can ever say.
...
Friend, what if one of us should pass
with anger still between us two?
This fearful thought occurred to me
today as my thought's; turned to you.
...

since last I felt the joy
of speaking words out of my heart
one thing that I enjoy.

In the foothills of North Carolina
sat a cabin a long time ago.
There lived a couple named Iney and Ben
for how long I really don't know.
...
One day 'old Mom and Dad' won't be there
believe me I know what I say.
Seems strange when the first to support you
have suddenly gone away.

the tale and estate are both humble.
...
Poet’s oft speak of love in such flowery terms
I don’t get what they’re trying to say.
It almost makes me shy away from divulging
how my lover shows love in his way.
