 Scribbled Thoughts

The City Lass


Always will I remember
      those happy tender years
Ignorant country girl I was
      and you the city lass
Distant hills I left behind
      to march through downtown isles
A torch once flickered my path
      then altered to neon lights.


Among friends you were the best
      willing to use your fist
Calm yet you shoved them away
      those who hurt me were your enemy
Often in my curiosity
      I acted foolishly
So many risky times
      unaware of city crimes
Tactfully you came to my rescue
      the defender that I knew
Always the city lass
      perverts had no chance to pass.


Rolling years moved so fast
      we traveled through different paths
Often in my trouble
      your name I always recall
Memories I'll always keep
      you taught me not to weep
Even when tears ran down my cheek
      when I feel I'd almost break
Remembering brought relief
      we'll stand to our belief
Always bear this in mind
      you're a special friend of mine.
