Thunder Booms

If thunder booms in empty rooms

Will no one ever hear it?

If you swore the night before

Did you really mean it?

It does seem ’twas all a dream

Yet this ring disproves it.

I said forever, and thought never

Would or could I lose it.

Jeweler said, it’s gold not lead

Your finger, I might bruise it.

Cut me Mick, I said quick

Rocky wise, I closed my eyes.

You tarried not, to tie the knot

As for me, I was set free.

Though no wife (yet) I like my life

I write rhymes of my early times

Love on the run, seeking the one

Am I crazy or could I be lazy?

The one with the kiss, is the one that I miss

So rare and she’s out there somewhere

It may not be right, but I sit and write

While hopin’ with eyes wide open.

Thank heaven above, I’m surrounded by love

Of sisters and brothers and so many others

My sons and daughters, life from many waters

Baby Boomer me to Always On family

For all these I am grateful and pleased.

I can afford, to wait on the Lord,

A start, to fill desires of my heart

I delight, to follow His light,

And to all a good night …
