Poem for my little lady  



She's young and soft and kind

And she deserves a whole lot better 

than a guitar picking drifter 

who never gave a damn.



And if loving me is all 

she ever wants some gonna let her

And I've tried to be kind of man

She thinks I am.



She makes those little kitten sounds 

and ( that ) trembles when I love her 

she makes me feel so bad and strong in me

She whispers how she can not wait 

to be my baby's mother

She's the only glimpse of God

I've ever seen.



Her mama sure had warned her

Never take out with a poet

For poets travel rocky roads

In search of truth and life.



I'm the only blemish on

Her virgin soul but she don't know it 

and I thank the Lord she's lying gentle 

by my side tonight.



La-la-la-la-la-la-la



I thank god she's lying gentle, by my side tonight
