The Woman Weathered His Note-Nw

In a storybook long long ago The pages filled with her and her tears Boy meets a girl in San Diego At a lowly crossroad of theirs Like tumbleweeds blowing in the wind Both walking aimlessly along With no destination in mind Yet whistling on the same sad song Two hobos hitching a ride on a train Like two ships passing in the dark Are united in the nomadic terrain Where their anchors touch, there's a spark Both twenty somethings, lost and found Share that ride in box cars across the state Where their love grew they pledged to be bound Only thing stopping them is bad fate As the train cut thru America pie She awoke one morning and he was gone Her heart broken she began to cry Her picnic red anted, and played on , She cried on a shoulder that wasn't there And made her way home to start anew She finished law school on a prayer She weathered the storm the best she could do Sad to say she received a note from him Sorry I needed to stretch my wings, girl And athough her life sad and grim She held back that his baby girl was a pearl 10/25/22 A Note In The Wind Poetry Contest Sponsor-Charles Messina Notes-2nd line her and her refers to mother and daughter N/A
