Discovering The David

This is David's countryside

And He is there with his new bride.

He's not solo, but a duet

A song beginning when they met.

This honeymoon

He found the time to read a book

And time to think and time to look

For new adventures, then to tell

True stories and he told them well.

Began the tune

For these became a part of me

Were visions heard for me to see

Around a campfire burning bright,

He told his stories day or night.

Lyrics soft hewn

How much he loved, how much he cared.

How hard he worked, how much he shared!

These were the mountains that he climbed,

Adults or children close behind.

In words attune

To see the wonder of what's "now",

Then to plan ahead and how.

For things like these are but a few

Of the many things learned from you.

Notes in a scale

And then I see him circle round,

Dressed in his best and homeward bound,

Or in his cap to cheer on friends,

Wondering where the next road ends.

They'll all dove-tail

The journey goes on with many views

Until it is no longer news

He finds importance in the face...

That's raised in print beside his place

With nightingale

For Carol is with him all along

With him, she makes his life a song,

She stands beside him, helps him brave

The World. It's always Carol and Dave!

In musaic tale.
