Thimbles and Blackberries

thimbles and blackberries


Come sit next to me
This rockers empty
Grab a colander
Help me snap these beans
The day is drawing over
Soon the men will be home
I am preparing supper
You may help me too
You live a faster life
Thsn ever have I
There's comfort in simple tasks
Like in thimbles and in blackberries
Reckon you have big city views
All the newer gadgets
Got that fancy new SUV
A job you hate that pays well
Go home to a large fancy house
Come sit with me a spell
Heard you are divorcin', pray tell
Me what happened to your love
There's a few hours yet
That old dog is sleeping
At my feet, mind his tail
If you have thoughts
This is the place to speak em
And hugs and advice are free
Just like thimbles and blackberries
