I sat a bit
In the local store
Where all the
Ol timers
Meet
Talked and laughed
with each
Of them
While Westerns
Played so
Discreet.
We told our tales
And shared
the truths
Each of us knew
were true
Talked of family
And cattle auctions
Catfish dinners
And high school sports
Of memories
each have made
The simple things
That mean the most
Shared with richness
And of love
In honesty and
Commonplace
All gathered
Round the table.
