 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

FATHER McGEE


camp

He called himself old father McGee
I first met him camped under a tree-
Away away out back along the track
Where almost everything is free-
I was then traveling looking for a life
And to escape it all of life's strife-
My horse my dog and I under the sky
Dreaming one day of a beautiful wife-
One day out there old father McGee
He in conversation said to me-
Always travel light of load up life's road
And you just might find your destiny-
So from there on through life I traveled
And the years slowly they unraveled-
And life it went by and so did I
As in many things in life I dabbled-
Well over time life was hard for me
Since the day I first met father McGee-
But I kept going,The wind kept blowing
And I dreamed my dream of destiny-
Over time the many places I have been
And the many things I've done and seen-
Looking for that one spot that I'd love a lot
And as well true love hopefully supreme-
And yet .. Over time older I got it's true
After all in life I'd then been through-
But I have in mind a spot I'd love a lot
Finally I met my dream a true love like very few-
Now it's together as one onward we both go
Towards the dreams we've both got and know-
And together as one we'll get it all done
And both will find that spot that we love so-
As one we both together now have a destiny
And always our love for each other it will be-
One day I suppose , I grow and name a rose
And I shall call it then ....Father McGee-

Father McGee
